This document provides a justification for a mood board about jazz music. It describes the colors, pictures, and typography used in the mood board. Warm colors were chosen to represent the warmth and emotion of jazz. Pictures include Louis Armstrong, jazz dancers, fashion from the 1920s, and Parisian jazz. The typography captures the style of jazz album covers. Overall, the mood board is intended to convey the feelings and atmosphere associated with jazz music through visual elements.

This
is
the
final
mood
board
for
Jazz
music
1.
Colors
I
used
Adobe
color
tool
to
help
me
choose
the
matching
colors
for
my
mood
board.
I
chose
the
muted
color
mood
for
my
mood
board
because
it’s
more
comfortable
on
the
eyes.
I
used
warm
colors
because
they
give
the
viewer
strong
emotions
and
feelings
and
it
makes
the
viewer
thinks
of
sunlight
and
warmth
and
that’s
what
jazzes
all
about.
(infoplease,
2012)
I’ve
used
bold,
clean
and
jazzy
colors
because
they
are
attractive
and
they
catch
the
eyes
attention
and
stand
out.
As
well
as
that
the
colors
are
strong
and
they
deliver
and
represent
the
Jazz
massage
in
a
very
simple
and
elegant
way.

Pictures
• The
first
picture
I
chose
is
the
picture
of
a
famous
Jazz
musician.
His
name
is
Louis
Armstrong,
I
chose
him
because
he’s
one
of
the
most
influential
musician
in
Jazz
history.
I
believe
that
Louis
Armstrong
represents
Jazz
with
his
songs,
characteristics
and
his
personality.
As
you
can
see
from
the
mood
board
design
that
Louis
Armstrong
pictures
is
the
emphasized
picture
because
it’s
the
most
important
one.
The
picture
shows
how
playing
Jazz
brings
happiness
to
Louis
Armstrong
and
it’s
really
obvious
in
his
songs
such
as
the
“
what
a
wonderful
world”
song.
(biography,
2010)
• The
second
picture
is
what
inspired
me
to
choose
this
type
of
colors.
I
added
the
picture
in
Adobe
Color
and
it
created
the
color
scheme.
I
chose
this
picture
because
it
has
a
sense
of
movement
and
the
black
background
gives
it
strong
influence
of
classic
and
quite
warm
feelings.
The
Jazz
typography
is
a
similar
font
to
what
I’m
using
for
my
website.
Moreover
the
Jazz
word
is
look
like
it’s
dancing
which
give
the
users
the
feeling
of
the
music.
The
last
element
of
the
picture
is
the
Saxophone
and
it’s
an
important
instrument
in
Jazz
music.

3. 3
• The
third
picture
is
similar
to
the
second
one.
It’s
shows
clearly
how
the
jazz
musician
is
engaging
with
his
music
like
he’s
apart
of
them.
The
picture
also
created
with
warm
colors
that
deliver
great
feelings
to
the
viewer.
• The
four
circles
represent
the
texture
that
I’m
using
for
my
website.
Four
of
them
included
colors
from
my
color
scheme
and
they
give
the
same
feelings.
• The
fifth
picture
is
a
line
from
Louis
Armstrong
most
famous
songs.
I
chose
it
because
it’s
identification
for
Jazz
theme
and
Louis
Armstrong
characteristics.
• The
sixth
picture
represents
the
Parisian
jazz.
Including
Eiffel
Tower
on
this
picture
shoes
that
french
has
a
long
history
of
Jazz
music.
I
chose
this
picture
because
it’s
expresses
the
relationship
between
Paris
and
Jazz.
(timeout,
2012)
• The
seventh
picture
is
for
a
girl
how
doing
a
jazz
dance
and
I
chose
this
picture
because
it
shows
how
jazz
has
it
own
style
and
theme
and
it
has
special
kind
of
dancing.
The
picture
shows
how
peaceful
the
girl
is
and
how
strongly
she’s
expressing
her
feelings
through
jazz
dancing.
(Bedinghaus,
2013)
•
The
eighth
and
ninth
picture
is
about
the
jazz
fashion
and
it
show
what
men
and
women
were
wearing
back
on
1920.
Jazz
fashion
is
still
trendy
these
days
because
it’s
casual
and
relaxed
clothes
and
it’s
allows
dancers
to
move
freely.
I
chose
these
pictures
to
show
how
the
world
is
affected
by
jazz
music
in
different
fields.
(Bedinghaus,
2013)
• The
last
picture
is
for
Louis
Armstrong
also,
playing
jazz
music.
I
chose
this
picture
because
at
the
top
of
the
picture
one
of
Louis
Armstrong
nicknames
is
written.
The
nickname
is
Satchmo
and
it’s
a
short
for
"satchel
mouth".
This
nickname
shows
that
Louis
Armstrong
was
a
very
talented
singer.

3.Typography
On
this
picture
I’ve
used
two
fonts
that
I
found
them
suitable
together.
I
chose
these
fonts
because
they
represent
jazz
with
their
style
and
edges.
As
well
as
that
some
Jazz
albums
covers
uses
the
same
fonts
that
I’ve
chosen.
I
used
Google
fonts
tool
to
see
best
fonts
combinations
and
to
download
them.
The
fonts
that
I’ve
chosen
are
Julius
Sans
One
+
Roboto
Condensed
Bold.

4.Overall
In
this
mood
board
I’ve
combined,
colors,
textures,
picture,
typography
and
Gestalt
Design
Theory
inorder
to
create
an
effective
mood
board.
• Continuation
I’ve
used
Continuation
principle;
the
eye
is
led
through
the
first
picture
of
Louis
Armstrong
towards
the
last
picture,
which
is
the
dancing
girl.
I
used
this
principle
to
show
how
relevant
is
the
elements
of
the
mood
board
and
how
each
picture
lead
to
another
one.
• Proximity
The
second
principle
that
I’ve
used
is
grouping
the
elements
of
the
mood
board
to
look
like
one
element.
I
used
this
principle
because
it’s
more
comfortable
for
the
eyes
to
see
united
things
rather
than
random
separate
elements
all
over
the
page.
Moreover
looking
to
the
design
united
makes
it
more
credible
and
easy
to
follow
and
understand.
• Symmetry
and
order
The
last
principle
that
I’ve
used
is
putting
the
design
elements
in
order
to
create
a
certain
shape.
I
used
this
principle
to
make
the
mood
board
look
neat
and
understandable.
