Reflection - Mood Boards

In this lesson we were required to pick a random work from the dictionary with our eyes closed.
My word was Labyrinth. When trying to decide what to actually pick to be in my mood board I struggled as Labyrinth isn't an everyday word. After thinking about it I thought of the film called labyrinth and how it would make someone feel to be in a labyrinth or maze which is where the pictures came from as I decided to choose images where people looked lost, frustrated or upset. Also with my mood board I felt text was a good idea as my moodpboard would have been confusing otherwise.

Here is my moodpboard after we was asked to remove one image that didn't really add to the mood board much and I chose to remove the blurry image of a model looking into the camera as it doesn't really contribute to the mood board and now looking at the mood board with that image it looks better as all of the pictures are relevant and its easier to focus on the images present and less confusing. Also with there being less images it is easier to focus on the text that has been incorporated as when you know what the mood board represents the text makes more sense.

This session allowed me to understand the importance of moodpboard and how when creating a mood board an finding images it is important to crop the image so the relevant part is showing to save confusion. This lesson also taught me that if you use text in your mood board it needs to stand out as if someone is looking at your mood board they need to be able to understand what your trying to put across straight away as its visual and peoples minds understand visuals very easily.
