Moodboard

I decided to create a moodboard in order to reflect the visual representations of what my reader is interested in. Therefore, I will create my magazine to be in a similar vein to my moodboard, visually. Some of the images I have chosen are mostly vintage things such as vinyls, film reels, polaroids, typewriters and stills from old movies, typical of what a young artsy person would enjoy. I chose stills from the 1986 David Lynch movie Blue Velvet because they can give a good example of the type of imagery my audience will find appealing - for instance the oversaturated roses have a stunning quality to them but like the still of the lady singing the blues, there is an underlying, sinister and noirish tone to it. This may help me with the photography for the magazine as I believe I will need to create visual intrigue with stunning aesthetics and an underlying message for my photos, to which I think will be what I required to cater to my specific audience. 

As I'm creating an art magazine, I also chose these images as it covers all the different forms of art - literature, film, painting, photography, even music. This is important because my survey results say that it is more preferable to have a balance of things. 

I decided to bring in vintage things into the moldboard solely because of the concept and less about the style it evoked. These objects are what my audience would appreciate more than the average person, however I included the word "youth" because as a reminder that my audience does still keep up with the modern world as well as technology.

Overall, this moodboard gives me an idea of the narrative structure of my magazine - also the fact that there isn't a whole lot on my moodboard, because I believe my audience is the type to not want too many distractions.
