Conventions of a Boy Band

For the task of designing a digi pack for the genre 'boy band' I researched the conventions to gather a further understanding of how to create my own. 'Boy Bands' only consist of only male singers which perform very highly choreographed performances. Their music aims at teenagers, however they do attract women around 30s and 40 year olds.
They concentrate mainly at the image that is created for their band; dress, promotional materials (magazines) and music videos. Each member is created to have a distinguished image and personal stereotype.
For the album cover, they tend to all wear similar outfits, normally suits. The outfits that they wear are normally dark colours; black and grey or white which contrasts from the previous colours. The hair style can also be very important when creating the image for the album cover.
The most well known 'boy bands' consist of 'West Life' 'The Backstreet Boys' and 'Take that'
