Giacomo Pisa chose black and red colors for their magazine mood board based on feedback from surveys that said black and red was the most popular color scheme. Pink and green colors were also included because they were featured on the cover of a magazine of inspiration. Images of famous hip hop artists like Kendrick Lamar and Tupac Shakur wearing stereotypical hip hop clothing like hats were included to showcase looks to imitate on the magazine's cover. Pictures of N.W.A wearing gold chains, typically associated with hip hop, were added to combine hat and jewelry looks to make the model appear as hip hop and cool as possible to encourage magazine sales.

I have chosen these particular colour blocks as I
believe black and red are complimentary colours
that work well together as well as in the feedback I
received from my survey monkey and
questionnaire, Black and Red was the most popular
choice for the colour scheme that I should use for
my magazine. Moreover I used the green and pink
colour blocks because these are taken from my
magazine of inspiration where the background of
the front cover is in green and pink so therefore I
will be replicating this for my own magazine.
I also used the image of many famous Hip Hop stars
such as Kendrick Lamar, J Cole and Tupac Shakur
as they are all displaying the stereotypical look of a
Hip Hop star, which I want on my magazine. All
three of them are wearing a hat, which I will ensure
my model has on the cover of my magazine to
imitate these famous stars, giving my magazine the
look that a Hip Hop magazine should. Then in
addition I included pictures of the group N.W.A on
my mood board because they are distinctly
wearing gold chain ‘bling’ jewellery which is
typically associated with Hip Hop. Therefore I will
combine the two looks of the hat and the jewellery
to make my model look as Hip Hop and ‘cool’ as
possible to encourage more people to buy the
magazine.
