The document discusses props and costumes for an R&B artist. It describes a cream dress that shows cleavage and tattoos to represent the genre. Bright purple lipstick and a gold chain are chosen as the artist's signature look to associate them with and potentially start new trends. Big, curly hair is selected to portray the artist as wild and fun, fitting R&B stereotypes of black artists having curly hair. Dark makeup with smoky eyes and purple lips is intended to make the eyes and lips stand out.
Rnb Artist Props and Costumes for Magazine Photoshoot
1. Props & Costumes
My artist will be wearing something similar to
this; a cream dress that hangs low and is
baggy, I have chosen this because it shows
representation of Rnb, because it shows
some cleavage and nudity.
The dress will also show off my artists tattoos
and piercings which also represents modern
Rnb stereotypes. Showing them off will allow
my audience to know clearly what genre the
model is, also can create an instant likability
for the artist and therefore the magazine as
my target audience is teenagers who are
likely to be inspired by tattoos, piercings, etc.
The dress is very simple which isn't what a
typical Rnb artist wears, but this allows my
artist to be standing out to the Rnb world
which grabs attention of new fans. It also
allows us to stand out more with the artist’s
makeup and hair.
2. Props & Costumes
The props that my artist will be wearing is bright
purple lipstick and a gold chain, this is my
model’s signified look. By showing the audience
what my artist always wears, it will allow them to
associate the artist with these props in the
future. It can also mean a new trend that my
artist can start to her fans, which usually happens
in Rnb.
The gold chain also represents Rnb seeing as it is
heavy jewellery which all Rnb artists wear. While
the bright lipstick will allow my artist to stand out
and grab attention of new fans as the normal
lipstick to wear is usually red or pink.

Hair & Makeup:
• My artist’s hair will be big and curly which
will give the audience the impression that my
artist is wild and loves to have fun which is
what typical Rnb artists are like.
•My artists hair will also fit into the Rnb
stereotypes as black artists usually have curly
hair.
•The rest of my artists makeup will be dark, for
example having black eye shadow to create
smoky eye, allowing the eyes to stand out
more as well as her purple lipstick.
