These are some existing pop artists that people said were their favourites when I did my survey. 
The artists I've shown are Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran and One Direction. You can tell that these people are pop artists straight away because they are nice to look at and most of them are wearing bright colours. The clothing they wear is also fashionable and relates to a young target audience because they dress in a similar way that would appeal to them. For example, Ariana is wearing a floral dress and this is something that looks pretty but also, younger people will look up to that and may even wear the same thing themselves as it is a part of her own clothing range. They also have a flawless image that younger people look up to and wish to look like themselves. They all appear to have clear skin because they are wearing a lot of full coverage make up to make them look perfect. Many photos are also edited to give this impression. They also almost always smile which makes them look happy and re-enforces their music as it is usually upbeat and uplifting.
When I did my audience survey, most people said that Beyonce was their favourite. This gave me inspiration for the artist that I created. I tried to make her look bold but also quite sophisticated. this goes against the stereotype of pop however I think it worked quite well. I did this by choosing a top for her that has bright colours such as pink and green on and also has a bold pattern of squares but also floral. Floral patterns are good for pop as they are seen as girly which makes it suitable for my target audience. I think the clothing was a good choice because it has a lot going on however it doesn't take the focus off anything else on the magazine.
Facial expressions
Most pop artists usually don't take themselves very seriously and this is shown through facial expressions. For example, they are often seen pouting or blowing kisses. These are the types of poses that I got my artist to do and I picked the best ones. They also smile a lot so they appear happy and fun. This is a good way to spread positivity other than through their music. It also makes them appeal to the target audience as they are young.
