First Day Back

On my first day back, i was continuing with what i was doing while in Australia.  Gathering all the material needed for my pitch that i will be doing this week.  I hadnt completed a moodboad, so the task was to complete this.

I used a Nuts magazine that i had brought before my travels and a Zoo magazine that i brought at Brisbane airport on my return.  I choose these magazines because this was the design that i was going to go down for my magazine.

However i would not be having necessarily the same content as a typical lads magazine as this was aimed at both sexes and for 16 - 21 year olds, on creating my moodboard i gave emphasis on the colours that were used for fonts, these were reds and whites for the cover and mainly either black on white or white on black with the content being of the same black on white or visa versa.
