Mood Board

Mood Board AnalysisIs there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/moodAll the images on my mood board are from the empire magazine therefore there is a continuous theme of red. This is probably because the colour red stands out from the backgrounds and colour schemes. The colour red is also recognisable as the colour for the empire magazine logo. The colour schemes depend on the film that features on the front page of the magazines, for example if the film is an adventure, action or horror film them the colours used are dark and din but if the films is a comedy or cartoon then the colours are brighter, this I shown throughout the mood board. The fonts that have been used have a continuous traditional theme, the title ‘Empire’ has been used in a sans-serif font and the title of the films have been used in a serif fonts. All the fonts around the main image are used in bold writing which makes it stand out. The image styles that are used are mainly portraits of either the character of the film or the celebrity that features in the film, this shows us that the character must be an important part in the film and we associate them with that film.

How will your mood board influence your final product?My mood board will influence my final product because I am going to make my magazine cover a similar design. For example I am going to use a serif font for the title of the film and a sans-serif font for the title of the magazine. I will also use the same image styles by using a portraits of a characters on the front cover. I will also incorporate the barcodes and dates that are seen on the front cover of the magazine.
