1. This image uses the rule of thirds well as the artists face is in the
primary optical area, so it’s the first thing the viewer will see, also
there is nothing in the dead corners as people tent to not view it as
much. This picture has informal symmetry as its balanced either side
of the artist. Also the block of colour would be useful to magazine
that could use the space for advertisement of the magazine. From
the picture you can tell it’s an RnB/pop artist, from the ethnicity of
the artist and the use of anti-establishment with his hand gesture.
This picture uses the rule of thirds as her head is tilted slightly so it’s
in the primary optical area and the picture has informal symmetry,
with the artist’s hand and the hand to the side. This is informal
symmetry as its balanced either side. Also the genre that the picture
gives off is soul with a little bit of pop due to the laid back relaxed
picture. The black and white gives it a classic edge.

2. This picture does not use good use of the rule of thirds as her face isn’t in the
primary optical area and the picture has informal symmetry with the block of
colour is balanced with the artists face. The genre the picture gives off is RnB as
she looks relaxed and not wearing anything that would suggest otherwise. This
picture would make good use for a magazine as there is lots of empty space
which could be filled with advertisement for the magazine.

primary optical area but this means this picture would be good for a magazine
as it has lots of empty space which could be used for advertisement space for
the magazine to use and because he is using direct address it would appeal to
the audience. The picture has formal symmetry and it is balanced either said of
the artist.
