I decided to create a mood board as part of my research for New Visual Language. I created a mood board to get a better visual idea of previous magazines, from which I could take inspiration. So far, I like the idea of using oversized text and a large use of negative space, as I feel this is more effective than a busy magazine. I also like the colours yellow and orange mixed with simple black and white, as they stand out to the viewer. I may vary my typefaces in my design, as I now feel that sans serifed fonts, when used to a large scale can prove very effective. I will experiment with layouts using this mood board as inspiration.
