A talk on how a band finds its look and keeps it: keywords, moodboards, press shots, live shows, artwork and the day of the shoot. For bands that are just starting, their managers, labels, schools and brands.

What is in it
01
KeywordsThe beginning and the end of any creative project. Visuals expire, words bring you back to the root.
02
MoodboardsFor the band, the shoot, the costumes, the room, an era. A board that leads you without locking you in.
03
Press shotsPosing, movement, angles, and how to find a place for everyone in a big band.
04
Live shows and sessionsCapture the connection. Pick a location and a style that suits your music, then keep it.
05
Social mediaYour real life as an artist, kept going as a diary of work in progress.
06
EP and album artworkHow a record gets its face.
07
