4. This page gives me an idea of the designs and ideas that
are already out there as actual, selling products.
I can refer to this mood board when I become stuck for
ideas.
I’ve chosen logos for products other than just energy
drinks to give me further inspiration when it comes to
designing and creating my own.
5. Pastel Colours
Colourful
I’ve used a large pastel colour palette
to take up this whole page, it gives me
an idea of what colours go with what –
it also helps that they are grouped in
to colour order which means if I pick
one, I can pick another one for the
font that contrasts and compliments
the original colour.
It also gives me the ability to try it out
on fonts and backgrounds – I can
easily choose a colour and test it out.

Refer to font tests
I’ve decided to do a similar thing to the font tests
with a variety of random fonts and colours, using a
colour palette from the internet, I’ve been able to
test out bright, vivid colours and pastels – this gives
me an idea of what it would look like on the final
product.
A lot of colours don’t suit different text, i.e. the
green doesn’t look good on the ‘Electrical’ font (this
was my original colour scheme and font choice)
which means I’m probably going to re-think my
whole colour scheme.
7. Typography
Creating a picture with words/imagery
Clever
Interesting
Unique
Word play
I’d like to include typography in to my design, whether
it be the whole design or just part of it. I’d like to
create a bolt of lightening and use typography to
create that.
I’ve included fire because it’s the sort of effect I’d like
to have coming off of the lightening bolt, this would
make an interesting effect and make it stand out
against the page.
Most of the images I’ve chosen are black and white
which makes me wonder if it would be any harder to
create a typography effect with colour?
8. I created this page to give myself some more
inspiration, I’ve chosen to include different
variations of the word, ‘energy’ this will help me
when it comes to the flavors and product names.
I’ve also included different types of lightning, the
top, Left image is of actual lightening and the rest
is artificial lightning created on Photoshop – this
id to give me an idea of the different types and
which ones would apply in my designs, this
includes my web banner, poster and TV
advertisement.

I chose to create this mood board so I could look at the
different types of sponsors I could have for my product.
I went for the typical sort of sponsor, music and sport –
because I know more about the music aspect of things, I think
I’ll probably go for that.
