The document discusses the history and development of the R&B genre from the 1940s to present day. It originated among African Americans and has evolved to include elements of rock and roll, soul, gospel, funk, hip hop and dance. The document also considers options for the front cover of a magazine focused on RnB female artists, suggesting Beyoncé or Mariah Carey as they are both very popular and successful representatives of the genre. Possible masthead names that convey femininity are also listed, as is a higher-class nightclub setting to portray the RnB music location.

7. RnB location/mise en scene
This is the sort of location I
will not be including as it
presents the lower class and
less modern look of night
clubs.
I will use this representation of
night clubs to present the RnB
location as its higher class and
more up to date. I’ve used
nightclubs to presents RnB as most
of the lyrics are about money, sex
and alcohol.
