Website and Album analysis- Danny

After extensive research i decided to analyse Miley Cyrus as an artist and her new album 'Bangerz', The reason why i chose Miley Cyrus was because this album bought with it a complete image transformation. Miley was originally a star of Disney Channels 'Hannah Montana'  where she had a girl next door image surrounding her, she was cute, wore minimal make up and dressed appropriately, but when deciding to leave Disney Channel she attempted to break out in a solo music career but it didn't take off too well, this year 2013, saw Miley Cyrus like we have never seen her before.

To the left you will see Miley Cyrus' website, it is quite minimalistic and hasn't got many pages at all, the colors are quite feminine which might give an idea too her target market, i believe her market is adolescent teen girls between ages of 16-18, she is dressed quite provocatively with a seductive look, this may appeal to the female market as they aspire to look like her and have her slim, curvaceous figure. Her website consists of links to social networks which also brands the younger market, there are links to Facebook, Twitter and Youtube and then finally links to buy her album, with the label 'BUY! BUY! BUY!' most artists try to hide the fact they want the fans money but Miley is taking a different approach and seems to be a level of honesty with her fans that in fact she does want their money.

 To the left again is her youtube page, full of previews of her album 'Bangerz' with directors cuts and shoot filming, this gives the fans an insight into what she does and this creates a good relationship with the people who ultimately will give her money.

To the right is her new album 'Bangerz' album cover, it shows and carries the same theme form her website with her dressed provocatively but not showing too much which leave some to the imagination, this could appeal to men also as they would find her attractive and want to know more or hear her music. The colours used match well and her face is the most noticeable thing on the cover which lets people know she is the star and gives her a level of importance.

 To the left are images that she has chosen to put on her website, they are very provocative and very different to her image before, i feel personally she has gone to the extreme and created a sexual punk look to get as far away form her good girl next door image that Disney portrayed.

This Image is one i found on the internet it shows her transformation form the girl next door image to the punk, rock star image that she is portraying herself to be at this current time. Below is her as Disney's' Hannah Montana, as you can see it is completely different form he image now which backs up my theory that she wanted to get as far away form that image as possible so when to the lengthy extremes of transforming her image completely, other artists like Noel Gallagher have also tried to get away form images from former music carrers.
