David Bowie and Elton John
David Bowie is one of the most innovative musicians in the world and produced some of the most popular music in the world as well. His image was a cultural message and due to his massive audience a lot of people copied his personal image. David Bowie can be very closely compared with Elton john. As much as both of them have very unique images, both of these images can be constructed in the same way. When performing and in their music videos they have a very extravagant image that can very easily be compared to David Bowie.
Moreover their general appearance is very similar. Bowie is famous for his stage appearances in sci fi clothing and his famous red hair with the fashionable mullet of the 1980s. Elton John who changed his name for his music and his newly constructed image puts forward a very camp and extravagant appearance on stage. He is famous for wearing the typical 1960s style round framed sun glasses. Both artists have received a lot of fame, stardom and targeted a massive audience due to their innovative musicianship.
Good work, Charlie. You have completed the task conscientiously and provided some useful research into three very different kinds of artist. The visual material could be developed further, given how much exists but you show a good understanding of the key elements of their image. Next time, I would like you to try and build more media terminology into your response.
