The document discusses costume and prop design choices for several characters in a story. For the main character Ryan, the designer aimed for a cooler fashion sense than best friend Michael. Michael's costume depicts a stereotypical nerd through glasses and interests in anime, movies, and games. The character Lilly wears expensive clothes and makeup to seem superficial, while Rose dresses unfashionably in thick glasses to appear intelligent. The character Ruby/Joel switches between a short black dress with fake breasts to stand out as a woman, and a plain dull jacket to show his manly figure as a man.

2. Character: Ryan I decided that this character needed to have a similar dress sense to the character of best friend, Michael, but needed to be a little ‘cooler’ and with more relevant fashion sense to make him appear more normal and relatable as the main character.

3. Character: Michael I decided that this character should wear glasses to demonstrate intelligence and clothing which represent a stereotypical nerd, often ranging from animé, action movies and video games. Also, by using technological props, it portrays the Geek style character.

4. Character: Lilly For this character, I decided that her clothing and accessories should look expensive to portray her superficial character. By using lipstick, it shows that she takes pride in her appearance, always wanting to look good. This seemed to be essential because I wanted to show a person that girls want to be and boys always fall for. Also, the use of wine provides a thought that money is no object. She is deliberately presented as a beautiful, high maintenance girl who believes herself to be of higher class then the average person.

5. Character: Rose In contrast to the character of Lilly, I decided that this character should be completely unfashionable. By wearing a yellow blouse, this character can be shown as light and welcoming. Also, by wearing thick glasses, it conventionally means intelligence. The brief style bag and books show that this character strides on knowledge, allowing them to believe she is a stereotypical nerd.

6. Character: Ruby / Joel This character has the role of two characters. When dressed up as a woman, I decided that a short black dress would allow his manly appearance to stand out more. A blonde wig with a light tone highlights the idea of fake. By using lumps of tissue, the breasts should look obviously fake. When dressed as a man, I decided that this character should look dull by wearing a plain jacket to portray his manly figure and dull personality. the character is designed to be ridiculous and therefore humours towards the audience.
