-Another factor to consider is how to communicate your vision and ideas effectively. Conveying moods and feelings rather than technical ideas, for example, is better done in color (we will discuss this in later chapters – see pages 36 and 74).
-The concept shown in this chapter was to create a realistic figure of a time-traveling agent – think Dr. Who mixed with Mary Poppins, but more modern and a bit crazier; a foxy eye-catcher who would get noticed.
Step 02
Creating a mood board
You have read the brief and all the information; you have some ideas floating around in your mind. Now it’s time to fill your head with inspiration. Photoshop is a perfect tool to assist you. Simply capture all your material in a extra document and name it ‘mood board’. Collect reference images: everything that inspires you – from pictures for costume parts and important details of the surroundings, to equipment and supporting accessories, and anything that visually describes your idea and helps to communicate your vision. Look for unusual combinations and follow your instincts. Sometimes you will get inspiration from unexpected areas; combine and experiment!
