moodboard

This is my mood board of ideas. The images I used are the result of research into the music I wish to cover in my magazine. I have included various camera shots, as well as magazine covers, titles, double page spreads and sell lines. I have also included layout styles, graphics and house styles. 

I used images which show the grim and dark style of the genre of music I am using for my magazine. There are colours in this which would link to this, such as blacks, reds and blues for contrast. I also showed a electric guitar, which is an instrument associated with rock music. I used images of bands in the genre of music  that I am using, such as Motionless In White, Get Scared, AFI and others to show the variety of individual styles in the genre. I will use some of these bands in my piece, for example a chance to win merchandise or tickets to see them, or I could use them as an interviewee. By using quotes from songs in this genre, I have shown how the songs can be fuelled by any emotion, ranging from anger to depression or love, often using violent imagery in the songs. I also used the quotes to explore different types of font that I could use for the magazine.

Overall the mood board has allowed me to see the conventions associated with a music magazine, and allowed me to compare the various methods of doing these. I feel that it has been very helpful and I will try to stick to these conventions during the creation of my piece.
