Costume and Props

My model is wearing casual clothes to show that her music is the most important thing. This shows the ideology of the magazine and shows the audience that is isn't targeted at a mainstream pop music audience. Lots of commercial artists wear unusual costume but my music magazine covers more alternative artists. Her down to earth costume reflects this. The clothes are casual but also in fashion and would be associated with indie-artists as the smart 'retro' fashion is now stereotypical of indie artists represented in other magazine and media texts.

The only prop I have used is a megaphone I made myself out of card. I used the dark blue colour as it stands out from the background and matches her jeans. It also co-insides with the colour scheme of the magazine.
