MAKING MY MOOD BOARD

 Making My Mood Board.

1) PREPARATION 

As I didn't have a piece of card large enough, I glued together 4 pieces of A4 card to allow myself an appropriate sized space to work on. Then, I gathered the images I wanted to use for the mood board through the internet; I mainly used Pinterest, but occasionally used Google. The only physical item I used was a Love Hearts wrapper that I happened to have after snacking on some during this process, and a sticker.

2) CUTTING OUT PICTURES

The next step was to cut out the images after printing them out. When adjusting them on my Word document, I used the A4 measurements to roughly estimate how large my pictures needed to be.

I cut them out completely, not leaving any white spaces as I wanted to achieve a 'collage' appearance.

3) CREATING MY BASE

I then ripped the edges of 4 sheets of 'yellowed' letters to represent the will, and how deeply morally corrupt the family are. This also provided more depth to the overall board.

Once I finished ripping the sheets, I positioned them on the card until I found a combination that allowed for the maximum amount of images whilst still remaining aesthetically pleasing and glued them on.

4) POSITIONING + GLUING MY SUBJECTS

I decided on the art work as my main subject as it differed in terms of its realism, and it captured the essence of our opening scene. 

I glued the image in the centre of the mood board, and decided to glue all the other aspects of the piece around her. 

I was eventually met with an issue; I had printed 5 of my main images too large, and they wouldn't fit in the way I wanted them to. So, I reprinted them.

As my final step in this process, I cut out the unused card to create a rather immersive mood board, making whoever holding it feel as if they are viewing an actual piece of the will. I contemplated on using a Sharpie to draw things on the sheet, but ultimately decided not to as I didn't trust my artistic skill well enough! Instead, I added extra, small pieces of white paper and glued them to my board to craft the effect that there were even more rips. 

5) FINAL PRODUCT

After 3 hours of work, I completed the mood board!
