Final front page for my music magazine

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.
