Analysed :)

There are some things in this that I would like to use in my magazine. One particular thing is the swagger that Usher has. He looks like it took him two minutes to get ready but his outfit is great. It's that kind of 'I look good wherever and whenever' mentality that I really want to capture. Honestly I don't like that mentality myself but that is one of the conventions of the hip hop genre and it will appeal to the my target audience. However there are a couple of things I don't want to use also. I don't want to have any props such as the bag in this picture. The bag implies that he's just robbed a bank. If Usher is as rich as he seems he shouldn't need to go about robbing banks. I get that it makes him look tough and like he doesn't care but to be honest his clothes are enough to show this. I would like to rely on these things for my magazine. I'm not sure i'd use many things from this contents page because it's just not the style i'm going for. However if i can do one thing i'd like to replicate the presence that Usher has. If I can get my model to dominate the page like he does I'll be very happy.
