R&B music is very popular now a days with the youngsters. The R&B music artist above are very successful and their music is at the top in the charts and in addition to that they have had loads of number ones. There are other R&B music artist that are really successful and are also pretty high in the charts. Most teenagers consider R&B artists as their role model and they aspire to be like them. The way the music artists act and behave has lot of impact on the fans. The fans follow the fashion sense of their favourite music artists e.g. Rihanna dying her hair red. The artist need to be careful of have their behave and act as this affects the fans because if the music artist is taking drugs and betting up their partner, the fans would think its alright to take drugs and bet up other people.

Teacher Comments

You have fallen a little bit behind. We are now halfway and should be well into the planning stages. There lots of research posts still not completed. These must be finished in your own time. There are ten days left to take all your images and begin to construct your pages.

If you work hard up to half term you will be back on track and ready to begin post-production.

Analysis of the popular music genres

Magazine article analysis

In this article the writer has decided to put a large picture of the music artist, so the reader/audience know what the music artist looks like, and in addition to that to make  the artist the main subject as the writer is writing about the life of this music artist.

The writer has used gold and white as the main colours for the font and he has used black as the background colour. The white and gold really stan out because of the black background. The writer has also made the main picture of the music artist gold and black to match the rest of the article.

The writer has decided to use two colours for the font so that the article looks good, that will make it more appealing and it also makes it eye catching.

The writer has used small font size so he can get all the information in. The writer has also made the first letter 'c' really big and made it gold so the reader knows where the article starts.
