For my music magazine I have created this mood board below in order to show which images, fonts or colours has inspired me to create my magazine, I have taken out sections which I will be definitely using while some that I may not but would like to see the combinations.
To create the mood board, I have sectioned out each part to show what ideas I have looked at such as; the left, top side I have placed different colours with also different textures for example the stripes or black blur edges etc.
On the top, right side I have put different props that I may be using for my magazine for example the phone and chains etc. Also I have poses of what the genre I will be doing, such as the hip hop theme having that style dance moves.
Below on the left side I have the different texts and fonts I have experimented with by looking at different colours, size and styles. In order for me to have a variety of different parts of text within the magazine and not just the title.I have also literally created text box and altered the styles by changing colours, fonts and also texture of the box.
And on the bottom, right side I have images of the different music magazines that has inspired me and given me ideas to help create my front cover, contents page and double page spread.
As you can see, the colour theme for my magazine I have chosen is black, white, grey and purple. I believe that black, white and grey work very well together and could work for a variety of themes such as a sophisticated look, punk look or even a r&b/hip-hop look.
I wanted to add another colour that would brighten the magazine up a bit, therefore I have chosen the purple. This idea I had got from the magazines that are shown below such as; "VIBE", these magazines have the typical combo of black, white and grey but have added red.
Most of the magazines I have looked at is of "VIBE" this is due to it being the closest of how I want my magazine to look and also because this magazine being one of the most popular r&b music magazine.
Also the poses of the artists shown in most r&b magazines, is very serious, it is not really a pose as it is a very casual looking straight forward stand. With either a slight hand pose or tilt of their body but still having a mid shot view of themselves keeping their face as the main feature.
However, their posture and face expression creates a very dramatic effect, due to the seriousness it creates a very mysterious look, making it seem like it is aimed for a higher aged audience.
The props I have also looked at are quite subtle too, not "in your face" as the idea is to keep the artist as the main item and not having other things distracting the audiences attention but to keep them looking at the model.
Due to the rest of the magazine having a subtle look but dramatic, the use of thick and bold text helps it look powerful and lively by having a contrasting colour such as having a white background with a dark font or to have a dark background with white or light font etc.
The mood board as a whole has a theme going on, making it easier for me to create my magazine as I have an outline of what colours, props and fonts I will be using for my magazine.
