2. Costume
When deciding my costumes for my models I need to ensure that
they appeal to the audience and suit the genre of my magazine being
pop. I will do this by presenting my models in a way which makes
them look interested in fashion and have good fashion sense. I will
dress them in a very girly way to make them look like pop artists this

magazine, which would either be a close up or mid shot image. I
will also use balloons as one of my props. This is because my
