Costume/Prop list

·       For my front cover Image, no props will be required. I have asked my model to bring clothes that suit the occasion to ensure that I meet audience expectations and represent the brand image correctly. My front cover image had to inspire other females. I did however make a point in saying that her shirt had to be pale so the black cover line could be seen towards the bottom of the page. I will be hiring the college studio lights and white screen however I will be using my own camera.
·       My contents page doesn’t require my models to wear particular clothes due to most of the shots being head-shots. These were taken outside so natural lighting was used.
·       My feature article photos required two sofa props which could be borrowed from the studio for my two models to sit on. I asked my male models to wear casual clothing so that my male audience shouldn’t feel the need to dress eccentrically if they don’t want to. This also suits the style and interests of my male target audience.
