Research and Planning: Costume & Props list.

The people pictured on my magazine will have to be wearing casual clothing, yet make it look like they don't care to much about their appearance to represent the image I want them to convey, an image which will compliment the genre of my magazine, which is indie rock.

I plan for the person on the front of my magazine to be a girl. I want them be wearing:
Doc Martens (Purple or white) - Two of my friends own these, they'll lend them me for photos.
Leather Jacket - My friend who is volunteering for me, owns this.
A baggy white vest or t-shirt with black graphic design - I own some of these
Either stripy jeans or black leggings - Volunteer owns this.




I would like my model to be wearing these clothes as i think that it is appropriate and ideal for my magazine. If the model was in a pink dress then i wouldn't imagine this being suiting to the overall image and house style which i want for my magazine. I also want my model to have quite dark make up, for example dark eye liner and quite blackish eyes, the face make up needs to be not over done and just look quite casual, i don't think an orange model would be suiting, and i would like my model to have red lipstick, yet not to red. The model would have hair which looks like it hasn't had much work done to it. If the hair is died i would like it to be an appropriate color and not one which would be outstanding to the color rule of my magazine, although i think quite extravagant colors for example dip dyed hair would compliment the genre as it is what is normally seen and expected within this genre.



I would appreciate my volunteer to have an instrument, due to my magazine genre it would be best if it was a guitar, as this is the most commonly used. I could either get this from college, or my brother as he owns a guitar. The model which i will be taking the picture of owns a guitar and i will try and interpret this into the picture without it looking silly and out of place.
