Dyer's Theory

The Star as Construction

The image of the star has been created and marketed by people within the music industry. This is through advertisement on TV, radio etc. The construction of a star creates a USP (Unique Star Persona)

The Star as Commodity

Every signed artist and band is there to make money for their label. They invest in research to find the tastes of the target audience. The stars are sold and constructed to meet audience demand.

The Star as Ideology

Every band or star represents acertain set of values and beliefs that could relate to or influence their audiences own. E.g. Beyonce represents 'girl power'.
