COUNTRY LIFE MAGAZINE MOOD BOARD
To begin drafting ideas of my magazine, I put together a mood board in order to show that types of images and fonts that I want within my work as well as different layouts of pages and various colour schemes. Looking at different types of regional magazines, I have decided to base my colour scheme of my work around colours that reflect my theme. I have chosen to use colours such as greens, blues and yellows. These colours are the most prominent in regional magazines as well as my mood board so I feel as if they carry the theme well and are appropriate for my work.
I also looked at different types of images used within regional magazines in order to help make my work look as authentic and as professional as possible. Images used within regional magazines are usual carry a countryside feel and often contain subjects such as animals and landscapes.I plan to recreate this within my own work. As I plan to base my main article around dog walking, I will look at using dogs within my photography in order to reflect the theme and nature of the magazine.
When looking at fonts, many regional magazines carry fonts that are usually delicate and flowing with titles and headings in bolder, thicker fonts in order to make them stand out on the rest of the page. Again, in order to make my magazine as realistsic as possible, I plan to recreate this convention within my own work. I have begun to look at various different types of fonts for my magazine, some displayed upon my mood board. I have looked at a range of fonts, all of which I believe will suit the nature of my magazine. I plan to use larger fonts such as the bubble font shown on the bottom of the mindmap as well and the joined up, calligraphy style font shown towards the top right hand corner for text such as titles and headings. The smaller of the three fonts displayed on my mood board is an example of font that could be used for smaller, less important pieces of text. I believe all three of the fonts are suitable for my work as they are all easy to read as well as decorative, fitting the purpose of the text and making a statement upon my page at the same time.
From carrying out the making of my moodboard, it has given be basic ideas and inspirations of the content and look of my work. I have looked at ideas for different areas of my magazine including images, fonts, colour schemes and layout. The mood board has given me a starting point for my magazine as well as something in which I can refer back to when creating my work.
