i chose muted colors inspired by what you see in the desert. The brand i chose has very strong aesthetics so I think i will make that the main focus of the OOH.

For this moodboard I decided to use neon colors to go for the typical cool colored led lights/gamer aesthetic & purple to represent twitch. As for the images, I went with what I think represents twitch.

My mood board contains colorful but scary looking area, very liminal space like, and just random outside places. I’m working with Adult Swim which is why I picked the photos because majority of their ads on TV consist of random places with their logo someone obvious or hard to find. Even for real ads in the world, they do very simple ads on billboards. They also do a lot of old and nostalgic inspired things like using halftones for art or using pop art like ads.
