Planning genre

The genre I have picked is R&B. I have chosen this genre as I enjoy the music and is my personal favourite genre. It will also enable me to be able to creative when making my front cover, contents and double page spread. My research was mostly based on R&B magazines, ensuring that I know what qualities are expected and what magazines are seen in the R&B genre, that are being produced and sold. I did not choose any other genre as I believed that my knowledge would be too vague, therefore would not be a true representation of the genre. I also find inspiration through the magazines that I read on a regular basis, such as 'Vibe' and 'Trace'.
