Final Draft for interview on double page spread

The representation of male and female artists in R&B

Both male and female artists have a representation that makes them recognisable to the genre R&B. Male artists have a slick and simple look; normally with a stylish hat, smart jacket and casual trousers. Their hair is short or very long with smart and tidy facial hair. However there are two sides to R&B when women are sexualised for example Rihanna and Beyonce, their costumes are highly sexualised and 'skimpy' this is an example of how R and B has changed throughout the years.For my magazine I wish to create a simple and stylish look with costume changes and hair and make-up. I want my artist to be urban and stylish and non sexualised as I do not feel this is appropriate for the younger half of my chosen age range. Both men and women within the genre are seen in many different ways depending on the artist, hair and make-up plays an important role in perception of perticular artists. For example the female artist always has very dramatic hair to create an eye catching look, the eye make-up is very defined and bold drawing attention to the face of the artist. Red lipstick is often worn to make them seem more alluring and bold. Current male R and B artists are percived as raw and almost 'ganster'. their clothing consists of torn jeans and sometimes topless, they also sometimes have tattoos consiating of sleave tattoos and chest tattoos 

Magazine front cover plan

This is my draft for my front cover magazine that I will be working from.

Magazine features plan

For my fonts I have decided to go for classic styles that will be linked back to old style R&B. This will be my main theme for my magazine. I have chosen the font I have because I feel this bet fit the genre.
