Mood Board


Mood Board


The mood board I created is linked in with six religions. These are Rastafari, Hindu, Buddhism, Satanism, Wicca and Christianity. These religions were conveyed by the different images on the mood board.

Rastafari – The Rasta coloured peace sign and weed sign.
Hindu – the Hindu symbol, the colour festival smoke, the Hindu hand and the Hindu God, Ganesh.
Buddhism – the lotus flower and the Buddha.
Satanism – The Satan drawing.
Wicca – The pentagram.
Christianity – The last supper painting and the stained glass background.

My mood board was put together by putting pictures were I thought they would fit into the mood board for example the stained glass as the background because it doesn’t take the whole focus of the mood board yet it is noticed. I arranged the mood board to be colourful yet not to in your face, the colours used are subtle and not to bright therefore allowing the whole mood board to be take in and not just one section of the mood board.

The sources I used were mainly secondary as the images were off the Internet as I had no time to prepare for the mood board. I looked at different aspects for the mood board such as artist. I also used a painting, the last supper, in the mood board so I was incorporating more of a variety of textures. I used Photoshop to create the mood board, I mainly just took a picture and cut it to the shape that I wanted I then played around and seen where the picture would fit and look right and then I would place it. I like to think that the use of the placement worked well as all the pictures can be seen and not one is too big to take over the whole mood board.

I am happy with my mood board because the layout is done well and I am able to study each of the aspects of the mood board easily. I personally like the lotus flower as it informs you what religions are on the mood board and it is a pretty colour. I wish I had taken more time to make everything more blended and less rough edged. I would change the pentagram in the top corner as it is not a colour that goes with the subtle colour scheme as it is a silver and green were as the rest are yellows, pinks etc. I would do this so that the pentagram fitted into the mood board more.
