My MoodBoard describes what I want to put out into the world. When it comes to the colors, Music, Patterns, Face expressions… the reason behind every part of my mood board. The color palette in my mood board is 3 elementary but yet calm colors in my opinion. Black red and white are my favorite colors, they represent 3 moods I go through from time to time. Black represents “escape from reality”, White represents “ calm and relaxed” and Red represents “ Satisfaction from affection”. I involved the colors in my logo because what I want to portray is the reasoning behind the color descriptions. 

Music is the only thing that can keep me away from my problems concerning school, work, and boring adult life struggles. God knows what he was doing when it comes to music. I say this because music allows us to block out the sounds around us and tune in within ourselves. When it comes to different genres. When I draw I listen to music all the time and that allows my creativity to burst from within and beautiful work is made. 

Relating to music I use art to be an “easter egg” for others. Let me explain further. As I listen to calm and relaxing music that hits home and touches my heart, I release sadness or happiness… etc. On a piece of paper. I always leave hidden messages in my artwork to explain these emotions, so I used the term “ easter egg “ also known as “ cracking the puzzle” for those who find these hidden gems.

Jazz is one of my favorite music types of all time. I say this because There are no words in Jazz that can distract me, it’s just instrumental. Another reason why I like jazz is because it always has a calm vibe. When I listen to jazz I picture myself at a fireplace, sitting down with a glass of wine. and that same feeling I will put down on paper, and express it through art.

The last thing I want to say about my moldboard, patterns, and cartoon drawings is that they all are technically one. meaning that they all relate to my logo /artwork. music makes my patterns, music makes my mood which relates to my facial expressions in my cartoons and music also contributes to my typeface depending on to mood or message I want to portray.
