Band and artist imagery
In this picture of Beyonce high key lighting has been used
which creates the effect that she is angelic. The very light
background makes her stand out and as the image has
been photo shopped she looks extremely glamorous. She is
in the centre of the image suggesting how she is in the lime
light and the glow behind her re-enforces the idea of her
being heavenly. Her gold glittery costume and long waved
hair also emphasises this as well as her femininity. Binary
opposition has been used in this image as her facial
expression and clothing suggests that she is celestial and
makes her appear sexually provocative in comparison to
the innocent aspects that have been created.
This image of 50 cent is quite a dark image and the light coming in
from the left side highlights the money in his hand emphasising
how he is a powerful person. He is making direct eye contact and
pointing towards the camera which suggests he is very
intimidating. The photo has been taken from a slightly low angle
and it is like he is looking down at us, this shows his dominance.
Guttenberg’s principle of the rule of thirds has been used as 50
cent has been placed at the top left side of the image where the
light is, creating the idea he is in the lime light. The amount of
jewellery he is wearing and the money in his hand is suggesting
that he is very wealthy and he wants to show this off which gives
us an impression of what he is like.
This image of Katy Perry shows that she is a striking, attention
grabbing artist. Her blue hair suggests that she is a very bold
person and also makes her stand out. Her nails are painted yellow
and her blue hair both match the MTV movie awards logo which
shows she has purposely colour matched to this. It almost seems
as though she is advertising the awards show which has been done
purposely as this will create a lot of media attention. The rule of
thirds has been used in this image as well because Katy Perry has
been centred to the left and her left foot ends more to the right
side. The crystallised dress she is wearing emphasises how she is
an eye catching celebrity and draws attention to her. She is
making eye contact with the camera and her posture which both
suggest how she is a confident and independent woman.

In this picture of Westlife we immediately can see
that they are a mainstream band which creates pop
music. They are all dressed very smartly in suits and
have clean haircuts which reflects their image as a
group. High key lighting is used in the picture and
the background being the sky emphasises a heavenly
image for them. It also represents their music as it is
mainly love music and ballads. The lead singer is
making eye contact with the camera whereas the
other three singers are all facing the other way.
This is an image of My Chemical Romance who is
a heavy rock band which targets a niche audience.
Low-key lighting has been used which portrays
the genre of music that the band produces. The
lead singer has been placed in the centre at the
front of the rest of the band emphasising how he
is the main artist. They are wearing black
uniforms which are quite sinister and dark make-
up which also represents their genre of music.
They are all making eye contact with the camera
and look intimidating.
In this picture of The Arctic Monkeys, low key
lighting has been used. It is a low angle shot
which makes them look dominant as they are
all sat on a wall. They are wearing hooded
jumpers and jeans which also emphasises
how they could be intimidating. They are all
sat in similar positions which reflect the unity
of the band as they are sat together and the
lead singer is not apparent.

This image of the Saturdays is quite dark with
bright colours used to stand out. The dresses that
the group are wearing reflect the individuality and
youthfulness of the group and also appeals to the
target audience. They all equally stand out and
this shows how there is no division amongst the
group. The clothing they are all wearing is very
feminine and as this girl group target a young
female audience this appeals to them. They are all
stood in confident, strong postures which makes
them appear independent and fierce.
