This mood board gives you an insight to my target audience. My Mood Board shows that my target audience is male and young; they use a lot of technology so my magazine will have a geeky, technology side to it. Certain images show what my target audience is like, for example they play a lot of games as there is a picture of a PlayStation 4 and some games. There are also some images of certain bands, such as ACDC, Rolling Stones, and Green Day this is the type of music that I will feature in my magazine as it will interest my target audience. There are a number of images taken from TV shows that my target audience would watch; they are shows that would appeal to a lot of people but mainly to my target audience.

This mood board gives you an insight to the type of products I feel will be advertised in my magazine to suit my target audience. For example they will eat in places such as Subway and McDonald’s as they are cheap and are enjoyed by young people, therefore my advertisements will allow my target audience to know when they can get deals. I also have Steam and Game on my mood board as it means that my geeky audience can know when sales are on for their games; this means that my advertisements range to suite every corner of my target audience. My target audience will also need advertisements from clothing shops that is why I have Topman as an advertisement as a lot of young people go there to shop, especially during sales.

The font’s mood board shows 10 fonts that I have taken an interest in. the font’s show that my target audience are slightly geeky by the style that certain fonts are. Quite a few of my fonts are the same however there are a few that stand out and that are different, some of these may be the ones I pick to make an appearance in my magazine.

The colours that I have chosen are all ones that I think will suite my target audience and the magazine. I will pick 3 colours to have on my front cover of my magazine so it doesn’t look cramped.
