CONTENTS PAGE current research

These are some examples of current market RnB contents pages.  The similar themes throughout are:

1. minimum/dull colouring, mainly one colour throughout.

2. Emotionless faces by the models involved, which is total different from pop for example, as they have smiley inviting faces with pops of colour all over the page.
3. Bold title with small information at the sides.  The contents information is considerably smaller than the title and is places around the main image to frame the photo. 
4. One main image, normally a famous artist as this will invite customers in (one has three other smaller images (artists that are included within the magazine).
5. The contents pages range from the dress code of a suit to casual to an edgy style of statement jewellery and tattoos on show.  
                           

                            The conventions

The conventions that these contents have are:
1. page numbers
2. main images
3. smaller images
4. sub lines
5. title
6.competitions

The last three examples of current R&B music contents pages all have the contents information on the right hand side of the page.  This makes the text easily visible as soon as the page is turned making it is easier for the reader to hold the magazine as you dont have to bend the spine of the magazine.
