Initial Plans

Your Name

Personal projectMind map of ideas

MagazineI could design my own music magazine, including the latest news in the music media, pictures of top artists and much more. I can decide on a target audience and then design the layout of the magazine based around that, choosing specific colors, fonts and what is in the magazine.

Sport brand I could design my own skate or BMX brand designing a logo, name and slogan. I can then also design my own t-shirt designs and posters to promote the brand, designing them based around my target audience and what they look for in a product.

BandI could create my own band creating cd covers, posters and t-shirts.Designing my own album list and name also creating small segments of songs to print on to he t-shirts .

Mood Board

Mood Board AnalysisIs there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated colours/images styles/fonts/tone/moodYes there are several signs of repetition especially in the styles and moods, this is because I hope to centre the magazine on a punk/grunge theme. Also there's a slight repetition in the colours I've used because id like too keep it simple but still eye-catching with a brighter colour layered on top of a darker colour.

How will your mood board influence your final product?It helps see what styles, colours, fonts and moods I think look appealing when all placed onto one page and how they can all be mixed into one final design.

ChoicesDiscounted ideas Reasons for not choosing this

projectSport brand (designing t-shirts, logos and merchandise)

• I did not choose this project because I do not have a very wide knowledge in sport.

• Also I don’t believe that would have been hard too finish fast.

Band (CD Covers, Posters and t-shirts) • I did not choose this because I am far more interested in the writing side as well as the designing side of music and the magazine allows me too write a article.
