L02: Mindmap Of Ideas

This is my mind  map of ideas for my festival, I thought these ideas would fit the theme of my festival as the theme of my festival is a hop-hop festival. And all these ideas relate to a hip-hop festival.

L02 House Style Ideas



House Style Ideas


I will be using purple and gold as it stands out for my poster, as it is also the same colour as the Lakers basketball team, and I really like the colours and this also links to hip-hop as the basketball and hip hop have also linked together in ways, so this is therefore my inspiration. I think these colours will attract the audience as they standout to the colours, other festival providers use for their posters, which is key in ways as I want my festival to stand out from the average in order to attract a big audience of people.






I was originally going to use black and red, however, this is a common colour combination, and I of course want my festival to stand out, so therefore I picked more unique colours.
