This mood board consists of a number of Punk tour posters which I used as inspiration for my tour poster. A common thing I noticed that all of the posters used was the use of abstract images. The images/illustrations seem to be mostly animals and creatures. The fonts are all quite unique compared to one another but are quite wild and ‘out of control’. All of these conventions that are featured in many tour posters of my genre will be helpful when creating mine.

 

 

 

This is my image that I created from scratch. My goal was to re create the magazine cover from below as accurately as possible. I think I did quite well apart from the red text which I struggled to recreate to the same exact colour. Apart from that I got on quite well with Adobe InDesign. I think I did quite a good job recreating the text and using almost identical fonts. For example the text in the bottom right was more a less identical to the original. Another thing that I’m not very happy is the background image quality. There was no other image on the internet that was better quality so I had to choose this one which is quite blurry.  Overall I think that I did quite a good job recreating the original apart from some minor details.

In the future when I am designing my own magazine cover I will ensure that the background image is of better quality and I will also make sure that the text that should be the same colour isn’t slightly different. I also need to make sure that the background

This video will help me in the future when using InDesign to create more advanced projects.

This video will also be useful when using InDesign in the future when I come to making my own magazine. I can use this video for inspiration depending on what genre I choose.

 

 

This is a variety of different shots which all represent different narratives while all using the same models and camera. For example, high shots look down on the model which imply that she is weak and vulnerable given the small presence represented by the angle. Another example of angles and shots being used is in the bottom left picture where a long angle shot is used to represent how lonely and powerless she is as she has nobody near her and she is surrounded by huge walls and trapped in a massive hall.

In the future I will need to consider using all of these different angles as it determines how the media is inferred. For example, if a high angle is used, looking down on somebody then they are interpreted as somebody who is weak and powerless as somebody is looking down onto them. This media language is hugely important as it engage the audience and they can tell the mood of the scene just from the media language

This Mood Board represents the genre of Punk. I was given this genre and was asked to create a mood board and tour poster of Punk and try to exemplify the punk lifestyle. Punk music originated in the mid 70’s and was much more than a music genre. People who followed punk music and were passionate about it very much made it a lifestyle. As you can see from the clothes they wore and the crazy haircuts they enjoyed expressing themselves through their appearance. Some fans more extreme than others as you can see the body modifications and attitudes that they conveyed. The rest of the world looked down on them as if they were crazy but the people who were really devoted to Punk and were passionate about it did not care what anybody thought of them.

I asked my peers to assess and decode the model and feed back the connotations that came to mind when they looked at the model. They did not know what genre of music I was portraying and as you can see they described the model with words and phrases such as chaotic and cheeky which perfectly describes a Punk artist as you can see from the mood board which contains similar connotations of a Punk star. This means that as a group we successfully represented a Punk star.

We decided that this was going to be our final photo as it best represents a Punk Star. The model portrays the genre the best and best presents a hectic, rebellious and edgy which is perfect for a Punk Star. This image works best as the model is holding the guitar and really looks as if he is passionate about their performance which perfectly portrays the Punk star. This uses good Mise en scene with all of the props and body language to represent the Punk culture and the model’s body language provides a realistic feel.
