This is a mood board that I created which shows all the iconography and representations of the band. Each different pciture or piece of text on this mood board represents a different part of the bands iconography.
- Sign - The sign goes hand in hand with the name of the band: "The Lost Boy." It shows how their a group of youngsters who entirly sure what their goal in life is and what they should be doing to achive it; hence them being lost. This relates to the target audience who would be a similar age of the band members (~18).
- Bike - The bike relates to the 60's mod lifestlye which is what the band are modelled after. Mod culture was a popular lifestly back in the 1960's Britain and bands such as The Who and The Kinks were popular among mods. Our band is highly British and is, in a way, a modern homage to the Mod lifestyle.
- People - The group of people holding hands shows that it is a communal band. The band are going to have a good, kind hearted image as opposed to other bands who are presented as rebels.
- Guitar - The guitar shows that they are a small band who are in the music business to make good music and share it with people rather than being in it for money.
- Fairy/bird - This represents the innocence of the band, and again, goes against traditional genre conventions where most bands are portrayed as rebellious.
- British flag - The flag shows that the band is highly British and patriotic and that they don't want to be labelled in with American indie bands (e.g. Interpol, the Strokes) but would rather be labelled in with British indie bands (e.g. Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs).
- Space - This is the theme of the song and could also potentialy be the them of the album.
- Fonts - The fonts are made to look delibrately simple and black as this fits in with the Indie genre. Some also have an old fashion look to them showing that the band is more of a throwback to old bands rather than trying to fit in with the modern crowd.
