Costume:

The trousers look very smart and classy, and are also black for two main reasons: number one, to fit in and match the colour of the blazer jacket above, and two, to look very smart and attractive. Not only does the colour black symbolise masculinity, but also a ‘sense of hiding’ from the world: the character is finally being presented as a gift to the world, and he is to look very presentable. It wouldn’t necessarily suit the character if he were to wear jeans and this blazer, unless he wore dark jeans. Black trousers look as though you are going outdoors, possibly portraying the lifestyle of the character as being out, working, and singing on stage for all to hear. He is to look good due to the large amount of people that will be seeing him, and admiring him greatly.

The clothing is fairly standard when it comes to being and looking very presentable and also very masculine., it gives off quite a trendy and classy look and overall finish due to the main colours being ‘black and white’ which portrays and signifies masculinity and a sense of attractiveness. The colour white is conventional when it comes to smart suits, and also helps to give off that the character is quite a ‘pure’ character, and also initiates in a look of true maturity; the character is meant to look mature, especially for the given target audience as being adults. The colour white will also contrast from all of the other images, which is quite ironic due to the over images also being plain, i.e., black and red. It doesn’t show a lot of character for the person wearing the costume, but it is also there to contrast the characters personality due to him being fun and full of energy.

The ‘Rose’ will be part of the blazer jacket. This is very iconic when it comes to bringing out the character and his overall personality. Like a ‘Rose’, the character will ‘Blossom’ and show his true beauty to the world. Apart from the look with the inclusion of a ‘rose’, and shows masculinity due to their being respect shown with the gradual inclusion of a somewhat stereotypical feminine preference of flowers. The character respects that, and also shows appreciation. A lot of Soul Singers would wear the overall costume shown, and also include a ‘rose’ within in their blazer jackets; it’s just that iconic look which truly stood out for them. It is to be preserved by the character. Overall, the character isn’t trying to look modern, but in fact he is trying to look old fashioned. It is very classy, stylish and also attractive in any woman’s eyes. The character admires the look, and the overall look is unique and iconic, just like the music in which he creates. The magazine will point that out and describe the overall qualities that the character has on the inside.

Even though this isn’t part of the costume, it is to be included due to it assisting the overall ‘Look’ in which is being presented with the costume used. The hair is very symbolic and iconic of the 60’s look with waxed up and greased up hair; it was very iconic within the great era of music. My character is trying to bring this ‘style’ and overall ‘look’’back to this modern age. The hair is one of the features. Nowadays, artists have ‘dyed’ hair, ‘long’ hair, ‘messy’ hair and also ‘strange’ hair with designs and overall colouring. This hair style is much more masculine and classy from such a great era. It will be kept and persevered by my character, and fits in with the costume due to the smart and very attractive ‘overall look’ and finish that the artist will bring to the audience

The bow tie is the Crème Del Crème of the 1960’s iconic look. It brings out character, style and overall class from the individual’s point of view. It is such great fashion from the past and even nowadays. The character will wear this to show a link between the past and the current present. This is symbolic as it shows similarities between this music and the music from the past. (The magazine will establish that with ‘Cover lines’). The character wants to bring the past to the future. This look is well established and is still used today, so it wouldn’t be so unusual to look at. Examples would be Michael Buble’ (an old school jazz singer). Bow ties also tend to be worn for special occasions, also nowadays, including special dinners, social events, award ceremonies and general formal events. It shows masculinity and true maturity, which is exactly what this character intents to bring to the modern and young world!

As standard, the inclusion of a suit stands due to the overall style and genre of the music and the music magazine as being ‘Blues/Swing/Jazz/Soul’. This means that the style is meant to look older fashioned, especially due to the target audience and the style of clothing within the ‘Swinging 60’s’. The character will wear the suit and jacket in all of the images to be taken, and this shows a great level of maturity. The colour black is standard due to the regular conventions and previous style used. It would be very irregular and unconventional if you were to see a ‘Green’ or ‘Orange’ coloured suit for this type of music magazine, even in general. It just doesn’t look grown up at all! This on the other hand certainly does.

There won’t be any specific locations. The background of the image/s to be taken will be pure white and plain. The colours will stand out at the front, and

furthermore, it will help to link in with the old fashioned/style colour and overall visionary look of the finished magazine.
