By creating a mood board from magazine covers and spreads, the document's author was inspired to create their own magazine. They liked the creative designs of enlarged initials over text on the Billboard magazine cover and planned to use a similar style. However, they would not use OK magazine's contents page layout of 7 images of the same model, finding it too "in your face".

5. By making this mood-board for my front cover,
contents page and double page spread it
inspired me to my own magazine as the layout
design makes me feel as if this is an inspiration
towards making my own magazine. The
celebrities used on the front cover of the
images used would be something i would go
for, i noticed a pattern in which Billboard
magazine have used, with the first name initial
being enlarged over the top of their writing,
this shows more of a creative design and this is
something i would use in my magazine.
Something i wouldn't use would be where OK
magazine used round about 7 images on their
contents page with the same model, this to me
looks a little in your face and this is why i have
chose not to use this.
