Harry Allinson has initial plans for a music magazine project including ideas for a film short, DVD case, poster, game, and animation. After creating mind maps and mood boards for inspiration, Harry narrows their focus to a music magazine aimed at ages 16-19 with a bright color scheme and reggae genre. They will need props and clothing for a landscape photo shoot to include with the magazine. Harry analyzes their mood board and how it will influence the final product by providing inspiration and teaching techniques from other examples. In a proposal, Harry details their concept as a multi-style reggae magazine with a photography component, intended audience, and the software and equipment needed to create it.

5. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• Both the Vogue and GQ Magazines use matching colours in the text to the skin tone of the
figure to add style and mood to the magazine and make those certain quotes stand out
because those words may have high importance.
• There is repetition in the two top right album covers because they both feature the artists in
the cover of the album to show who's its by.
• The picture at the bottom of the page with six albums all have there own colours to
symbolise what the album might be about.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
My mood board will influence my final product because the mood board will show
case all my thoughts, ideas and inspirations so that I can keep on coming back to it and
thinking of new ideas that I can apply to my work to improve it. Also I can understand
how the people who produce these produces use techniques so that I can learn from
and apply that to my work.

7. Choices
Discounted ideas Reasons for not choosing this
project
CD Case – I choose not to do this one
because I preferred to do the magazine
instead and because I didn’t have any ideas
about what I wanted to do.
• One reason for not choosing some of the
other ideas are that they were too slow
to produce for me.
Photoshoot – I didn’t do this one because I
didn’t have many props for it so I chose not
to do it.
• Another reasons as to why I didn’t
choose some of the other ideas as that I
didn’t feel like doing that certain idea at
that time.
