During a lesson in class we had to create a mood board showing what kind of music we are interested in and why we have chosen to take these pictures from existing magazines. I used a range of different magazines to get cut outs from as by doing this I have a range of different ideas I could put into my own magazine. I annotated the mood board with small notes in order to explain why I liked the pictures/text shown.
Firstly, the font and colours used for the word 'review' really stands out for me and is eye catching for the reader. It is important that I chose the right colour and font to use for my titles in the magazine as they help to draw the reader in. In the top left corner, I annotated this picture as i like the use of the shot and how it is portrayed. The image makes you feel like he is looking directly at you and this helps to anchor the audience. I also like how the image is very wide and stretched out, this helps to make you focus more on the person as there is nothing else around him. I plan on using shots like this for my magazine.

What also interested me was the use of black and white images in some magazines. I think this is very effective and would look good on more serious and stripped back sort of interviews. Taking the colour away from an image adds that feeling of honesty and rawness for some articles which I think is important for some magazines.
