My Inspiration Mood Board



I have produced a mood board primarly for the influences and inspirations I have for my own music magazine. When creating this mood board I have thought thouroughly about what I would like to include in my very own magazine. In this magazine I have included three different front cover inspirations, which I could refer to when I come to creating my own. I plan to use these front covers for font, colour and layout inspirations. The magazine I like the most out of the three front covers is the Teen Vogue edition, which looks more mature and could attract a more older audience.

The reader can easily tell straight away that the demographic for 'TeenVogue' is older, more mature teenage girls. This is shown through the colour scheme. The colour scheme, unlike pop magazines for younger teenage girls, involves more than one colour. The colour scheme of this magazine is not just pink, the magazine incorporates a diversity of colours through the layout. The editor of the magazine has done this by making the word 'Vogue' almost match the models hair to make the magazine more unified. The darker shade of pink that is 'Rock Your Style', almost matches the colour of the flower in the model's skirt. Once again, this makes the front cover look more unified and look as if its a part of the same magazine.

The main image of the magazine is relaxed. The model, in this case 'Demi Lovato', seems to be presented comfortably and relaxed, she is standing with her hand on her hip. This could also imply that she is ready and that she is confident and how she is now back in control of her life, since the corresponding article to the main image says 'I weeded out my friends who didn't have my best interests at heart'. The clothing she is wearing is different to what she would normally wear on a daily basis. The model, Demi Lovato, would normally wear the colour black and choose more of an alternative style for her clothing options. However, the stylist of the photoshoot has dressed her in a more relaxed, girly, boho style. This could be implied towards her 'new life' and how she has changed her life around.

I have also included other artists that could be featured within a pop magazine primarily for teenage girls. The other artists include McFly, Ariana Grande, Union J, The Vamps and One Direction. I decided to choose these artists because they are the biggest artists right now in the business and they are the most watched in the business right now.

When it comes to creating my own magazine, I will keep referring to this inspiration mood board for colour scheme options, main image inspiration and styling options.
