Post 6: Moodboards

For the planning of your magazine, you will need to create an additional 2 mood boards to show what fonts and colours you intend to use or are considering using on your magazine. These should relate to the genre and target audience of the magazine as well as including a range of design ideas.

Don’t forget to look outside Photoshop for examples of fonts. DaFont or any other online font websites can be much more effective in creating an individual look for your magazine.

For the colour mood boards, look at various shades of the colours, and include these as well as the mood is merely an indication of intention. It may well be that during the design and construction process you will experiment with colours extensively so by including various shades, you cover this with your mood board.

Each mood board needs to be accompanied with a written analysis of approximately 200 words explaining the choices you have made and giving more information about your intended product and the target audience for the product.
