Costume Design

Its a difficult yet easy task when it comes to the costume this is due to it being easy to get a hold of the costume however hard to justify.
example of the style i will have in my magazine is often casual wear like jeans t shirts and hoodies an example of this is Ed Sheeran. Each artist/band will have there own personal look which is then reflected by the audience/fan base therefore in order for a magazine to attract new readers they need to keep to these conventions as therefore the artist cold bring there own fan base to the magazine. Ed Sheeran is well known for his "Indie" style dress sense and in fact whenever performing he wears the same style costume. Therefore an artist is picked for there genre of music and there audience for example you would not see Susan Boyle feature in a magazine such a "Q". 













Each of these images you can apply to the male gaze theory as the women are styled in a way that could be compared to a sexualised image this just the way it is men see them  as object where as women could describe them as confident and "the perfect women". This however is  important to a female artist as it creates there fan base of males as well. On the magazine front cover its important to show case this as the audience will respond to this image as they reckonise who it is however say if beyonce was not in this costume then people may not know who it is. As you can see the colors match for example the colour of the text and the colour of the tops etc.




































Many of the magazines feature rap as current music to enter the market, these images vary alot but they all follow the rule that they appear the same in the magazine as they do in there music video and in the public eye. Such images as:
