Mood board

I have chosen a collection of images that I think link to what I want my magazine to look like and include. I then took these images and then put them into the form of a mood board.

This is the mood board that I have created for my music magazine. The images that I have included in this mood board relate to the style of my magazine and the show the sort of music that I would like to include in my magazine.

I created this mood board so I can refer back to it for inspiration when I'm creating my magazine. I am aware that my ideas might change throughout the process of making the magazine, but I still see this as a useful tool so I can see what my original ideas were and so I can see the development in my work.

I have used the youtube icon as I would like to have a feature article in my magaazine on unseen/undiscovered artists from youtube. 

I have included imagery of music artists performing live and festival crowds as I know that my target audience enjoy live music. I have also got some images of festival line ups; I am including a festival section to my magazine which will have images and reviews of this years festivals.

The artists that I have included on my moodboard are reflective of the artists that I will be using in my magazine, and the music genres I'll base my magazine on (indie, pop and rock).  

I have included the logo for The Official UK Top 40, not only because I will have a feature section of my magazine on both the UK singles and album charts, but also because my target age group (16-19 years old) like to be kept up to date, so this will appeal to them. 

In my mood board I have used images of vinyl records as I would like to feature both old and new music within my magazine and I felt that this connotes that idea.
