Blog 12: Social Media

Social Media page not only is something that you can scroll and click on to see what post have the guy got. It also works some how like digipak where you get a sense of branding.

Taylor swift got her instagram purely monochrome. She have some shorts of her performance published, some of her portraits been put on. Her highlights are all the shorts that advertise their albums. But all the logo is all monochrome fonts with white background which also adds to her branding of B&W elemental front page design.

Also notice her discography featured in the headers. She's now currently advertising her new album the tortured poets department and the publish date. She also put her own website in her header for people to click on, which is a must do for big brand artists. It is also interesting how she subscribe to none of others.

There's also her iconic dress that she wear in her newest tour, which is also a theme of her current branding.

⬆️Also notice that she is posting the advertisement for her tour movie on disney+

Now... It's time for me to create my own.

After 30 minutes of effort trying to create an account......

INSTAGRAM DECIDED TO BAN US :((((((((((((

Probably because we just made up a new account that's kinda sus.

Imagine some sort of random account called lemongang666 trying to publish ..... a bunch of lemon pictures

So we end up mocking up the front page of our social media post⬇️

We decided to make the things pretty weird as our artist branding is all about reality confusion and anti-social behaviours as louis did in mv.

Lady gaga, again we took as an example, is pretty much known for her weirdness in her music video art designs. So we got her publishing some of her studio portraits; some of her selfies, and a bit of her playing.

So my point of view is that we are in the middle of production that everybody is exciting to see. But we do not give out any sort of video extract, but pre-production images that will make the audiences sees the connections between the MV and the pictures. And the audience will be like "Ahh, this is the scene"

Well....It's not very appropriate to show a bag of condoms on instagram and louis actually blowing it like a ballon....See that as a synergy with durax to target homosexuals audiences cuz there's only two guys in the video(?)

"The supreme lemon" is a theme for us as well. It's a mocked up "god" or whatever thing that suits our theme of lemon and psychedelic theme.

We also created memes for distribution

It's kinda vandalism that I have to credit Danny for editing these memes but I do think it is still worthwhile to put it in my blogs cuz I took the pictures.

It's another way of propaganda by distributing the memes which might get us more attention in the fandom area. We might get potential audiences that have not watched our MV.

Update 2:

I end up making our mocked up Instagram page again because I feel like we did not incorporate enough branding in our previous mock up. This time I did the thing in the template based on desktop. In this edit, I incorporate more artist image in for people to remember better.

You would also see some B&W photos been upload because I noticed that many musicians such as Taylor Swift will occasionally put their B&W portraits on since it is usually seen as "Classy" that are high cultured. You would also see the classic "Condom shot" as a part of our iconic item in our MV for better branding.

In terms of the header, we've got our classic the Supreme lemon god which emphasises our ideology. We are mocking this up on a bases of MV already finished and we are marketing it, therefore there are no built up of excitement but encouragement for people to check out the condoms and our video.

We also give away additional contents that are shot from a different angle that the audiences will not be able to find in the MV. We hope that the condom shot is in gif since that is a screen grab from the video.

In order to keep our mysteriousness, which I took as an excuse for being lazy and try to came up with different post. I decide to incorporate less information in our blogs and centralise our "god" figure by urging our audience to phrase the god and the link for purchase
