Mind Maps and Mood Boards Task 3 and 4

Abygail Jones

This page gives me an idea of the designs and ideas that are already out there as actual, selling products.

I can refer to this mood board when I become stuck for ideas.

I’ve chosen logos for products other than just energy drinks to give me further inspiration when it comes to designing and creating my own.

Gloss/Shiny?

Contrasting Colours?

Colour Pallete

I’ve used a large pastel colour palette to take up this whole page, it gives me an idea of what colours go with what – it also helps that they are grouped in to colour order which means if I pick one, I can pick another one for the font that contrasts and compliments the original colour.

It also gives me the ability to try it out on fonts and backgrounds – I can easily choose a colour and test it out.

Different Fonts?

Refer to font tests

I’ve decided to do a similar thing to the font tests with a variety of random fonts and colours, using a colour palette from the internet, I’ve been able to test out bright, vivid colours and pastels – this gives me an idea of what it would look like on the final product.

A lot of colours don’t suit different text, i.e. the green doesn’t look good on the ‘Electrical’ font (this was my original colour scheme and font choice) which means I’m probably going to re-think my whole colour scheme.

Typography

Creating a picture with words/imagery

Clever

Interesting

Unique

Word play

I’d like to include typography in to my design, whether it be the whole design or just part of it. I’d like to create a bolt of lightening and use typography to create that.

I’ve included fire because it’s the sort of effect I’d like to have coming off of the lightening bolt, this would make an interesting effect and make it stand out against the page.

Most of the images I’ve chosen are black and white which makes me wonder if it would be any harder to create a typography effect with colour?

I created this page to give myself some more inspiration, I’ve chosen to include different variations of the word, ‘energy’ this will help me when it comes to the flavors and product names.

I’ve also included different types of lightning, the top, Left image is of actual lightening and the rest is artificial lightning created on Photoshop – this id to give me an idea of the different types and which ones would apply in my designs, this includes my web banner, poster and TV advertisement.
