Here is a selection of pictures of the artist 'The Weekend'. i like his type of artist because he gives off a swagger and coolness that allows us to be like him and dress like him. the use of direct address in some of these pictures are strong and catch the readers attention. this is something i would like to replicate in my magazine because it draws in the audience and makes them focus on the main image; the use of direct address is so strong because he looks directly into the camera which creates a relationship between himself and the audience/reader. 

I like the colour of the pictures on a whole because the black and white theme presents a pattern throughout and is attractive. The black and white effect is not as popular for other pop artists such as Katy Perry as she uses colorful backgrounds and dresses but in this picture we see that he is wearing a lot of dark colours which suggests to us that he has a dark ad mysterious side. i hope to replicate this in my magazine if it is appropriate to the theme and artist.
