Mood boards are primarily created to develop design concepts and to communicate to others the direction in which the project is heading. Applying this to my coursework; the above mood board I produced visually displays the type of clothes, photo shoot dynamics and general feel that I will be attempting to mimic with my own creation. I used elements of magazine covers to converge the two topics of metal bands and magazines. Click the above thumbnail to maximize the image.
What I have taken from this mood board:
Dark coloured clothing is typically worn by band members
Long hair is a lot more common than short (although this is not normally orchestrated)
Apathetic or aggressive expressions are typically worn by band members
Although most camera angles have been used for metal band photos, the most dominate one featured in my mood board is a simple mid-shot.
