Costume Designs

My 3 main costume ideas would be:

I have chosen these 3 costumes because in my indie band i have chosen to have 3 girls as this isn't very common in a band and indie music is about being different and independent. i have chosen these 3 outfits because i think they suit the genre and look very unique; just like indie music is.
I researched what indie clothes usually look like and I chose the three that seemed the most common to see an indie person wearing.
This will appeal to my target audience because these outfits are seen as very in-fashion for an person interested in indie music, therefore will make the band look very in-fashion.

Social Class & Demographic Of My Product

I will be aiming my magazine at working class to lower middle class people.  I will be pricing my magazine at £2.00. As gifts I would be most likely to use: concert tickets, music vouchers or clothing vouchers. This is because i think this would satisfy the majority of my target audience. The social class table will help with the choosing of feature stories because by using the information from each social class trends can be seen and similarities can be identified which will help choose stories. The social class will help with my target audience as again similarities can be seen with each social class and also when you see what traits are in each class then the target audience will have to have the traits. These will adhere to their needs because the magazine will not be very over priced, it will keep them up to date with music and indie fashions.
