- London - punk
- Manchester - britpop/'Madchester'
- Seattle - grunge
- New York - hip hop
I also looked at the origins of black metal in Oslo but decided the overwhelming themes of murder, suicide and Satanism were a bit dark...
After a bit of research on the fashion and hang-out spots of each genre and city respectively, I've come up with a sort of plan for the postcard layouts:
- A CHARACTER: look at fashion and hairstyles of the genre and pick iconic clothing so the genre is easily recognisable
- A LOCATION: a famous club/place in the city associated with each genre
- AN ACCESSORY (?): a lifestyle signifier, possibly a different kind of drug
- A BAND (?): logo of a prominent band of the genre on a T-shirt, or a music format with their album artwork/colours (NO TEXT!)
- COLOUR: colour associated with the genre, either to do with a band or clothing
I like making lists and planning things with words rather than draw straight away, as otherwise I forget my ideas. So I have a mini plan for each postcard:
And some initial fleshing out of ideas:
