This mood board includes content pages and spreads from existing music magazines within the genres of hip hop and R&B. It also contains images of different artists that would appeal to the target audience and fit the magazine's genre. The magazines displayed have bold, clear mastheads in plain colors that stand out without distracting from the main image on each page. A consistent color scheme including white creates a sophisticated look rather than clashing colors. Each magazine features a single main image of an artist as a close-up or mid-shot to keep the design clean and avoid cramming too many images on a page. While the magazines share these traits, each artist's pose is tailored specifically to them. The goal is to incorporate these aspects into

In this mood board that I have created, I have included contents pages and
double page spreads aswell as the front cover of existing music magazines that
fit my genre of hip hop/ r and b. I have also collected images of different types
of artists that I would like to appear in my own magazine, which would also
appeal to my target audience. From looking at all of these, the mast head is
mainly a bold clear font of a plain colour so that it stands out but also does not
not take the focus away from the main image. They each have their own
individual colour scheme which all include white as it is a very neutral colour
which makes it more sophisticated, rather than using loads of colours that clash.
All of the magazines on my mood board only have one main image, that varies
from a close up of the face to a mid shot from the waist up this also helps keep
the magazine sophisticates opposed to having lots of different images cramped
on to one page. The only main difference between all these magazines that I
have chosen is that each individual artist has their own pose which fits to them
personally. For my own magazine I will try to incorporate all of these points into
mine including having one clear image aswell as having a colour scheme
including white and a bold clear masthead.
