Project One: Final Moodboard

My Final Moodboard

Here is an image of the final moodboard I created to represent Mason Martin Margiela. It consists of 10 images which are both images from the brand and designer himself as well as images that I believe sum up or represent the designer's ideas and brand's image.

Feedback

The feedback that I received from both my tutors and peers suggested that I need to structure my presentations clearly during preparation in order to make sure I include the necessary information and points that I wish to get across. They also suggested that including words within my moodboard could help to create a stronger feel for the message I want to portray, as well as helping to give me 'reminders' that could help me to stick to a rehearsed structure within my presentation. 

It was also suggested that my moodboard could be improved with more images that are not directly from the brand as this could create a better idea of what my interpretation of the brand is. 

It was also commented that I had clear skill with using photoshop. 

Sketchbook

I also recorded all of the above in my sketchbook, as you can see below:

Creating my Moodboard

To make sure I got the best images, layout/composition and overall visual impression of the brand within my moodboard, I started by experimenting with images I had collected within my research and created some basic composition and content ideas and templates.

Converse
Some of the images that I really liked from within my research were those taken as screen shots from the Martin Margiela and Converse collaboration teaser and advertisement YouTube videos. I took several screen shots and felt that many of them had a really interesting look that summed up the style of Martin Margiela's work. Below is one of the YouTube videos from Margiela's YouTube account, this particular video was the main 'full length' advert which was released after several 'teaser' trailers:

Here are some of the screen shots I took from these videos:

To create a moodboard, or element to be incorporated in a moodboard, from these images I began to layer and manipulate them in Photoshop. Below are some of the draft results:

Here was my final composition of the converse images; I really like the visual effect of this final idea, however, I am not sure if I can translate or incorporate this into my final moodboard:
