Mood Boards


Style Moodboard
This mood board shows the graphic style of magazine I want to design. I would like the cover to have a fun and laid-back handrawn style to it with hand drawn style fonts surrounding the vocal point of model and possibly some other small colourful illustrations surrounding it to add a fun and informal style to the cover. I also found a couple of inside pages that stood out to me because of the 'cut and paste' style where the elements look chopped up and stuck together with hand written style type that gives it a more informal and urban feel than a clean layout and classic typeface.

Style Moodboard
This mood board shows more examples of the style I would like for my magazine. I can take the same points as the previous mood board from this but it will also be an inspiration for my double page spreads, especially the image on the far right. I really like the idea of mixing bold colour backgrounds with the image of the model and a funky typeface and small illustrations wrapped around it and this is definitely something I can take inspiration from.

Cover Typography Moodboard
This mood board contains some typography based covers that are similar to the style of typography I would like to try on my cover. My favourite is the bottom right cover because I think it is really effective the way the text lines and wraps around the image and lines have been used to fill in any empty space to make the cover fully illustrated. I can also take inspiration from the way they have managed to make the masthead stand out amongst all the text by giving it a thicker stroke allowing it be still be a main focal point.

Typography Moodboard
This mood board shows some typography that I can be inspired by for my cover and for the double page spreads. I really like the idea of using a hand drawn style of typography for the cover like the on the image of the cover below. I also found some examples of more colourful hand written style typography and I could try something like this for headlines on the double page spreads to link with the style of my cover. I also really like the bottom middle image of the bolder colour block type and I think this style could work well for the fun, laid back and urban edge I want to give my magazine.

Masthead Moodboard

This mood board is my inspiration board for the style of my masthead. I really like the idea of having messy hand written style typography surrounding the model on my cover and I think it would be in keeping with this style if my masthead is also in this style so I really like the style of the 'rebel' and 'interview' and 'lone wolf' and 'love want' mastheads. I also think an illustrated style masthead could work as I want small illustrations mixed in with the typography as well so the other three mastheads could be an inspiration for this style of masthead.

Theme Moodboard

This mood board captures the theme and feel of the style and images of my magazine. I want a more informal, edgy, and urban twist on a high fashion magazine and I think images like the ones below wold reflect this. These are inspiration for the style of images you will find in my magazine.
