conventions of a R&B magazine.

1. This is a common feature of an
R&B magazine, this includes
other artists that feature in the
magazine and includes news
and gossip about them too
which is something that
attracts the younger
generations that are
interested in R&B artists.
Artists that are wearing little or
no clothes are a common
feature of R&B magazines. This
is to attract the opposite sex
and therefore have more
people being interested in the
magazine as well as the artist. It
also creates a sense of
aspiration in the audience, as
they want to be like the stars
represented on the front.
R&B magazines have particular
colour schemes that are usually
two colours that compliment each
other and also make the artist on
the front stand out. In this case
the colours are a light soft blue
background that compliments the
artist on the fronts’ elegance, and
a bright red that contrasts with
the two, they commonly use one
bold colour to stand out on the
shelf.
Buzz words are also a common
feature of R&B magazines. They
attract the customer and are
mainly used in a context to make
a feature or a promotion sound a
lot better.
This is normally a feature of an R&B
magazine that catches the customers
eye as this also includes the type of
artists they are interested in.
These magazines usually use mid-shots in order to show their
clothing and also body language ( which can also be to attract
the opposite sex but also inspire the customers with fashion).
But they can also use close ups to show their facial expression
(which can also be used to attract the opposite sex, but also to
inspire with fashion in a woman’s case: make-up.)
