-I have used green as the main colour on the logo because it is not stereotypically a ‘girly’ colour and this links to the video that it is okay to oppose social norms -The artist’s name is written in a signature style to make it seem more personal -The black silhouette represents the artist and the hairstyle shown will be the same one she is wearing in the video
