On Niall Horan's twitter, he has made his username @NiallOfficial. The official represents that he is the real Niall Horan considering there will be a lot of false accounts pretending to be him. He has the One Direction website embed in the side and a simple bio to keep his fans engaged with what he's doing however, it doesn't explain who he is. He has a lot of followers which expresses how famous he is and how many people follow his music. From Niall Horan's twitter, I have picked up that typical codes and conventions are having a form of showing that you are the real artist and a short simple bio with a website linked in.
On R5's twitter account, their username is @officialR5. Similar to Niall Horan, they have met the codes and convention that I have already listed that they are trying to make their selves be recognised as the real artist. They also have a short bio stating who everyone is in the group and their own individual twitters which allows their fans and the audience to see each individual personality of the band. As well as this, they also have the website linked in which allows the audience to access their site, this covers another code and convention of a twitter account for a pop artist. They also have a poster as the twitter header which expresses that they have a new single and it is available on iTunes. This is another code and convention of a twitter account for an artist.
On Katy Perry's twitter account, she has her header and icon advertising her world tour to express how big she is. Her world tour is also mentioned in her bio which is a code and convention of a twitter account to have subtle self done advertisements. Likewise to Niall Horan and R5, Katy Perry has her website embed onto her twitter which engages with her audience as they will go through her twitter and see her website. However, it is clearly recognisable that Katy Perry has nothing on her account other than the verified logo to suggest that she is the real Katy such as official or real in her username which goes against the typical codes and conventions of a twitter account for a musician.
