6. Mood Board

7. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
• From the Images that I have collected there is some sort of repetition in the way that the Images look for example the majority of the Images
that I have chosen are all looking in the direction of the camera in order to make the reader think that they’re looking at them. Also with
regards to the way that the colours are the structures are the same and the way that the cover lines all follow the same sort of style, for
example if the magazine is based on a Grunge music genre then the Magazine would follow the a certain style with the magazine and their
would be certain bands on the front cover. This means that the magazine will only show content which is relevant to the genre of the
magazine. Also with regards to repeated colours there is a strong use of the colour yellow, this has been used a lot especially on cover lines
and on tag lines. This has been used in order for the audience to see the content on the magazine clearer. The fonts which have been used in
this magazine are also the same, as it makes the magazine look more professional and clearer/ bolder. Also the tone and the mood of each
magazine is different for example depending on what genre the bands main cover or Image maybe darker.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
I think that The mood board will influence my final product in terms of the way that it looks for example, if there was a certain magazine design
that was relevant to the type of style that I was going for then I would try and copy it or do something similar. Also one other aspect of the
Moodboard might help my final product is the way that the magazine looks and what kind of content to put onto the mood board in order to
give it an appealing feel to the product and to make the product look better.One other way in which the Moodboard will influence my final
product is that, it would give me an idea of what effects, colour correcting etc is needed on the Images or on the magazine itself.

8. Image StyleStudio/Location- The Location of the main Image is in a studio
this has been used in order to create an effect on the reader
who may look intrigued at kurt cobain as it shows that his eyes
are positioned in the middle so it looks like he’s looking at you.
Angle- The main point of focus of this magazine is the
Main Image you can clearly see that Kurt cobain Looking
at the audience which gives the Impression that he’s
happy as it links with the Coverline.
Effects- The effects that this magazine creates is it gives the
magazine a whole new grungy feel as the masthead looks very
Classic and rough as there gaps in the font as this presents a dark
feel.
Lighting- There has been the use of lighting in order to
show more contrast on the Dark background so the
audience can see the main image clearer.
Composition- The way in which the magazine has been set out is
the way the coverlines and the structure of the magazine is set out
for example the Borders and the strokes have been used in order
to highlight the main elements.
Fonts- The fonts which are used in this magazine cover show
hierarchy, for example the font is bolder and white in the
main coverline. The font in the other coverlines is less bolder
so it takes the point of focus away from the main coverline.

9. Image StyleStudio/Location-You can clearly see that the Image has been Edited or has
been altered in a specific way in order to make the main Image look darker
as the band “Trivium” are often associated with this sort of colour as it
might link in with there Genre which is thrash metal/ Metalcore. This means
that if the audience had no idea who the band is they could get an estimate
of what the Band is like.
Angle- The main Image and the angle of the Image shows the band Looking
straight at the audience or the reader with a serious look on there face
which may symbolise that they mean business. One other aspect this
symbolises is that the way that the coverline says “ Our new album will
blow you away” this means that they are being serious and the audience
may want to purchase the album and find out what it is actually like.
Effects- The effects that this has on the audience is that it makes them
slightly intimidated with the way that the band members in the photo are
all staring at the camera. This would make them intrigued to look them up
as they are the main cover story on the Magazine. This shows the audience
that they are the most important.
Composition- The way in which the main cover line looks is that you can
clearly see that the main Coverline/ story is emphasised with the use of the
colours on the magazine and the way that it set out with regards to
hierarchy.
Post production- The Post production with the product which has been
used is the way that the Image looks for example the Image has been made
Darker in order for it to match the theme of the Magazine and the way that
the Band looks.
