R&B Mood Board and Popular Artists...

 

 

From this mood board it is clear so see some of the main conventions of R&B magazines.

 

What I have noticed is that the majority of R&B magazines do not photograph their cover artists with musical props such as microphones and instruments.

 

I have also noticed that most of the shots used are midshots in order to get the artists clothing in as the public like to see what current artists are wearing and the latest fashion trends.

 

 

The cover artists in R&B magazines are usually the centre of attention and are placed in the middle with no smaller cover images located at the bottom or sides of the front cover which can be found in music magazines aimed at younger target audiences such as 'we love pop' magazine, as this age group needs more images and bright bold colours to draw in their attention where as the more  mature audience which R&B magazines are aimed at wouldn't appreciate it as much.
