Laura Marling appeared on the front cover of NME which has over 7 million users per month and
attracts audiences who are interested in the Rock/Indie genre. The artist adopts a dominant
persona,attempting to ‘fit’ this image in order to appeal those with these qualities. The mise-en-
scene, posture and clothing all depict the representation of the attitude, characterisation and
even, to a certain extent, lifestyle of a rebellious ‘indie kid’. In contrast to the promotional photo
on the right, she appears as neat and presentable individual as for the plain black top and the
simplistic background she’s in. The props also suggest that she is a warm character, as the usual
connotations of flowers are gentle, caring and loving and the table cloth gives a ‘homely’ feel.
