Choosing My DPS Image

Picture 1:

This was a possible image to select when I was choosing my DPS as I liked the gradual increase of light intensity. It subverted the norms of a DPS magazine as the image wasn't front facing and up close. This further emphasised the changing ideas of R&B and also the persona that I was trying to create with my artist. However, as I analysed this image more , I found that due to the image not being a close enough shot, the audience may have lacked a connection with the artist.







Picture 2:

This was my chosen image for my DPS. As my genre was R&B and all about the changing attitudes of it in contemporary society, I decided to use a caucasian as they are usually underrepresented in the genre. The faux fur coat, gives her a chic style . In particular I used bricks as a backdrop because it complimented the R&B genre, with its roughness and new era.

First Draft of Introduction

 A new generation on the verge of redefining rhythm and blues . A bit of slick talk, sweet vocals and Bryson Tiller inspired energy. A refreshing arrival for Aaliyah B with her new single "Different Pages" adding her own twist to the well renowned genre of R&B.

She strutted in the grunge underground warehouse with her beige faux fur  coat. To my surprise she  was much more down to earth as  I pre-empted . Aaliyah B greeted me with a striking smile.

Speaking about her inspiration behind her new single , Aaliyah explains “After my long term relationship of four years, we broke up because we wanted different things. This song  represents my rollercoaster of emotions throughout the relationship.”
