Mood Board

In order to best go about the first ancillery task we decided to create a mood board of different ideas from a variety of magazines. We have tried to make it clear how we would like the cover to be themed. Elements such as dusky colours and vector artwork are sure to play a part in the final design. We like the idea of contrasting elements of the performers with the background. Such as making only certain areas and sections appear in colour. We're currently experimenting with different clothing ideas to achieve this.


We thought about having only the performer's legs in shot with the shoes in striking colours, opposing a black and white background. I think this idea has good potentially, especially if it is combined with equally robust visuals. To mimic the attitude of the musicians and song itself, we would like to include rough collage work, and also had the idea of creeping vines coiling around the edge of the page to form the band and song name. Various trinkets and jewlled items will be included in its branches, and the idea of a randsom note display information about the band and/or song seems a good idea also.

The feminine nature of the artwork will be evident through the fluid curves and edible colour scheme. I think the biggest influences for this will be the advertisements and art of attitude-fuelled musicians such as P!nk and The Veronicas.
