CHRISTIANITY MOOD BOARD.

The theme for my moodboard is Christianity, the message i wanted to give from my moodboard is how Christianity can be portrayed in many different ways through, fashion, art, architecture and graphics.  I feel I have been succesful when doing this as when looking at my moodboard you instantly get the religious vibe from the images of Jesus and the stain glass patterns, when looking closely at it you realise the different interpretations of christianity from Dolce and Gabanna's garments to Da Vinci's paintings. 

When arranging my mood board i was influenced by the stain glass artists Gilbert and George and how they use a mirror image style.

I feel my composition works well and is effective however as i have chosen a mirror image i haven't been able to fit many images on the page. The colour scheme for my mood board is harmonious, i have chosen to use bright colours in a dull way using the brightness and contrast tool on Photoshop. The dull palette works well with the theme of christianity as most art and things related the christianity are often of dull colours. I feel this is because at the time of Jesus there weren't a lot of resources to create colourful art. When researching artists and designers who incorporate christianity into there works i found they use a dull colour palette, especially Da Vinci and Michael Angelo.

 For my image research for the moodboard i used the internet, mainly Google images. The artists, designers and inspiration i looked at were:

Leonarda Da Vinci

Dolce and Gabanna

Damien Hirst 

Givenchy

Jean Paul Gaultier 

Karla Spetic 

Michael Angelo

The tools i used on Photoshop were, the magnetic lasso tool - this was helpfull when wanting to cut shapes out of large images, i also used the background eraser to delete sections of images. When adjusting colours of images i used the hue and saturation tool as well as adjusting the brightness and contrast.  I feel the adjustments i made to the images worked well and they all fit together well. 

I am happy with my moodboard, i feel the colours and composition work really well. If i was to do my moodboard again i think i would balance the style of images better, i think there is too much pattern at the bottom and not enough at the top therefore the bottom section clashes slightly.
