Nathan plans to create an anime magazine targeted towards 14-24 year old males. The magazine will take inspiration from Shonen jump series, featuring characters on the front cover and in an article with an accompanying poster. The color scheme will match the anime featured and use bright colors with darker shading. Existing magazines in the genre include Otaku USA, Newtype, Anime UK, and Weekly Shonen Jump.

5. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected?
Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• The images use a lot red, yellow, green and white
• They all seem to use a character on the front surrounded by
text and the title
How will your mood board influence your final product?
• I will use a similar layout to the magazines on the mood board
