Here I have paid close attention to the outfit of my model. I had done a fair bit of research into the outfits R&B singers. Through my research I could see that a lot of the R&B singers tended to stick to black or any other dark colours also they mostly appeared to wear oversize clothes as well, whether it was a jacket or T-shirt etc. I had also researched on R&B magazine front covers to see what kind of clothing the male models wear. Through my research I could notice that the clothes which the singer presented wearing on magazines and the clothes which they wear in public are quite similar, which concluded me to choose an over sized black jacket and shirt. Furthermore I had also visited quite urban areas such as Thamesmead and Elton and paid close attention to the type of clothes which males around that area wore. Through my research I could see that most males had similar clothing to R&B singers. However the clothes were not as flashy which gave me the idea to make my models clothing appear a little less expensive so it could relate to my target audience. In regards to the background I had to research quite a bit on the backgrounds of R&B magazines. Through my research i could see that a majority of the magazines stuck to a plain, dull background, which is why I made my background a plain grey colour. I feel this could have been done so that the background those not draw attention away from the model.

My Final Content page for my music magazine
Just like my front cover I had also performed the same similar research in the essence of choosing an outfit for my model; however I was already aware that I had used black clothing for my model on my front cover. Through research I was able to see that the next popular colour which is worn by R&B singers was brown. This is what I had chosen to give my model an over sized brown fur jacket as not only does it look eye catching by it also looks flashy and casual at the same time. On the other hand I did add black trousers and a black shirt as I felt that the jacket should be the center of my viewers attention. As this is a content page I felt that the colour of the background should match to the colour of the front cover as I felt that a dramatic change of colour when my viewer changes the page would not be suitable as it would then take all the attention away from the important parts of my magazine such as the image and text as the viewer would be more interested to see a completely different change of colour, also I feel that the colour grey matches to the themed genre of the magazine.
