cover shot research

In this post i am going to talk about the camera shots that have been used in the magazine that i have chosen "Billboard" and why it fits with the genre of the magazine.

The camera shot that they have decided to use in this magazine is a medium long shot of Soulja Boy. This shot is unconventional because usually in RnB magazines they use close up shots to show the facial expressions because RnB tends to be serious and on this picture Soulja Boy looks quite relaxed and happy. Also the colours that they have decided to use is purple this is quite conventional because purple is a buying colour so it will attracted the customer into buying the product.

Genre research for Fader

In this post i am going to analyse the trends of the RnB magazine "Fader"

The image that have used in this magazine is a medium close up shot, they have used this shot because they want to show the facial expressions of Keli Hilson. it is important to be able to see the facial expressions because it fits in with the Genre of the music, which is usually quite serious.

The Masthead on the front cover of this magazine "Fader" is quite bold, however the colour is white this si good because it fits in with the \genre of the music because RnB usually tends to be quite simple and plain just people saying whats on thier mind, this fits in with the colour because it is just plain.

trends of Vibe magazine

 In this post i will be analysing the trends of a couple RnB magazines because that is the type of magazine that i have decided to do.

In this magazine Vibe has decided to use a medium close up shot of Kanye West. this is conventional with a magazine like this because you can see the tention in his face. They have focused on facial expressions on this magazine because RnB songs have mixed styles, so there will never be the same facial expressions every issue for example if you were looking at the front cover of a rock magazine then the person on the front cover would look really serious because thats what rock music is like.





The fonts that Vibe have used are very bold and bright colours this is because RnB music tends to be quite cheerful and pleasant so they have used cheerful colours to fit in with the Genre. most RnB fonts are bright and bold colours which makes this magazine a conventional magazine.
