Mood Boards Based On Words

The word i picked from the dictionary was ginger.

Below are the mood boards i created from my interpretation of the word. 

With the mood boards i was immediately drawn to images of models with big hair, curls and plenty of volume. I think this is because i think of ginger as a strong bold colour, making an impact in the room. 

I also really liked the image of the lion as its seen as a fierce animal showing strength, power and importance, all things i think ginger can symbolise.

As ginger is a pretty unique colour i see it as special, i included the golds and sparkles as i think they symbolise importance and status. 

I included the bright colours as they are bold and make an impact. 

All the model posing on these moodboard are standing in empowering ways that make them look dominant and authoritative both things i associate with ginger.
