Moodboard

For the mood board, I collected a number of images to represent my initial inspirations for my music magazine pages. I wanted to create a theme of indie music with a slight grunge element to it. The images are intended to portray the aesthetic of the music video, such as the clothes that the artist wears, the props and the the lighting of the of the images.

The flannel shirt and guitars demonstrate the typical features of an indie band and the images of the band are used to show what genre my artist would fit into. The black and white filters of the image of Arctic Monkeys and the suits connote that my artist will a 'stylish' element to them, with similarities to The Beatles being the intention.

The images of female artists such as The Pretty Reckless and The Piecers are used to show attract a small female audience and break the convention that only males enjoy guitar music.
