Artists Associated With Indie
Indie artists are all individual and can be very different types of artists. From research (such as my interviews and questionnaire's) here are a few popular indie artists:
Arctic Monkeys
The arctic monkeys are a band of 4. Bands are very popular in alternate/indie music, because live music and live bands are commonly related to indie/alternate music.
Arctic monkeys all have an indie look, with an indie style and indie attitude(such as smoking in magazine covers/photo-shoots, if this was in pop, that would not be acceptable).
Ellie Goulding
Ellie Goulding is partly a pop artists, acoustic artist and an indie artists. Even though she may appear in pop magazines as well, there is a difference in the type of image and story what would be used.
For example, in a pop magazine, there would be a smiley picture, with bright colours on and the story would be a positive story/what she has been unto and the good things she's been doing. Whereas in a indie magazine the image of her could be black+white and she probably wouldn't be smiling, also the story could be something about her misbehaving or a negative story, as indie magazines don't have to be careful with being a good influence to children.
Fall Out Boy
Fall out boy are another indie band, as I mentioned bands are extremely popular in the indie/alternate genre. In this picture you can tell the band are indie/alternate and not pop as there faces are not smiley or cheesy and are neutral or a bit stern, also there style is indie (hats, baggy shirts, baggy tee).
Linkin Park
Linkin Park are another band in indie and alternate music. Linkin parks logo appears on this picture (to the right of the text), the logo suggests they are an indie band as shapes are part of the mis-en-scence for indie and are very popular in clothing, logo's etc. You can also tell by there stern expression and the black/dark clothing.
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran is an indie and a pop artist. This would probably be used in a indie magazine and not pop, as it has dark colours and not bright and it is not a cheesy smiling picture.
Ed sheeran is an acoustic artist, which other than bands, are very popular in indie and alternate music.
