LO1 - P2: Sample materials / Mood board

Main Mood Board:

Masthead mood board:

 

Here, I have shown what techniques I have planned to use while creating the masthead: I have explained my choices of fonts, the title itself, the colour scheme, and what I chose to include in my final masthead design.

I decided to use the name 'tempo', as it is simplistic and is a synonym for music (this is fitting because the magazine is rhythm game based. I played around with several fonts that I believed would fit the theme of the magazine, and as a result I chose Dezire Stacked, as I liked the repeat effect - I have decided to have the model stand in front of the text (with masking) and I believe that it will be fitting for a magazine front cover. 

For my final masthead design, I used several effects on a mobile editing app - Alight Motion and. Ibis Paint X. I used distortion effects such as fractal warp and displacement map to give it a VHS theme. To add to this theme, I used colorising effects such as RGB split and made a mask with a star map effect on the main text in the centre. The colour of the centre text and the borders in general may vary depending on the magazine's colour scheme. As for this magazine, the masthead design will remain the same as shown in the screenshot, as it follows the colour scheme of the magazine.

Visualisation diagrams:

I created 3 visualisation diagrams: The front cover, contents page and double page spread.
