2. Initial Reaction
• My first thoughts on coming into this project are quite
positive, given the set brief to create a magazine cover
and page spread using within photoshop – which can
ultimately play to some of my strengths in media...
• In this, I'm hoping that it could be possible to produce
some artwork in this – to later transform into a front
cover or include a creatively designed page spread.
• However, coming to the double page spread, I'm not
looking forward to writing/creating an article for this
project – as is a potential weakness.
7. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• Colours: A lot of the artwork uses bright colours over the cut composited
images original colours.
• Style: In the centre of the artwork pieces the tend you use a selection of either
main characters – occasionally with a villain/monster... With a lot of the
magazine covers I'd liked, they used artwork as the base – with typography.
• Tones: Towards a lot of the edges and/or boarders of the pieces, they tend to
slowly fade to black or darker tone.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• In doing my mood board, I very much liked the concept of using a bit of
artwork as the centre piece of both my front cover and my double page
spread.
• On top of this, I also like the text alternating both in the foreground and
background of the piece.
• From a lot of the artwork I looked at I was drawn into the bright colours and
the subtle details (such as the addition of space faded into the piece.)
