Props: In this photo, the only prop are his glasses – causing him to remain hidden, although fans will know who it isLighting: High key lighting is being used, and the reflection of the light can be seen through his glasses. There is slight shadowing which shows that it is being used higher up, as they are looking directly into the camera.Costume: They are both wearing different outfits, but are free in what they wear. They want to relate to the audience as they are ‘exactly what this generation needs’ so they are dressing similar to the generation they’re addressingPosition: All of the band are centred in the image, and they are both breaking the fourth wall by looking directly into the camera. Also one of them has their arms crosses – conforming to masculine stereotypes. Framing: The band take up the majority of the cover, with text layered over them. Their heads overlap the masthead – making them recognisable.

Props: In this photo, no props are being used. Although glitter is being used on them and behind them in the imageLighting: High key lighting is being used, as they want to stand out. Although there is slight shadowing on some band members, which suggests that they are looking directly into the lighting. Costume: The band are wearing all white clothing – which allows both genders to wear so they aren’t stereotyping a particular gender. Also it draws attention to the gold glitter and away from what they’re wearing. Position: All of the band are centred in the image, but not all of them are looking directly into the camera, they are still breaking the fourth wall in order to create this look. Framing: The band take up around 75% of the whole cover – with limited amount of text layering over them.
