Fashion and Faith: Mood Boards

Christianity and Homosexuality

The theme for this moodboard is the relationship between Christianity and Homosexuality. I wanted to convey the hateful views on homosexuality holded by some Christians. Homosexuals have been persecuted for many years because of Christian beliefs that Homosexuality is wrong. The colour scheme I have used is quite pale and blue, I did this to create a cold feel. All the sources are secondary that I have gathered from the internet. I have used two pieces from the art duo; Gilbert and George. I chose to use their work as I know they are a gay couple who often publically speak about the corruptness of christianity. I used photoshop to create the mood board. I am happy with how my mood board demonstrates a certain darkness to the relationship between christianity and homosexuality, however I wish I could have the cut the signs out more precisely.
 
 
Ancient Egyptian
 
The theme of my mood board is Ancient Egyptian. I wanted to gather the some of the most recognisable of things from this era to inspire me. The background is heiroglyphics; which is what the egyptians wrote in. Their is a picture of Cleopatra; the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, a picture of Tutankhamun, four images of Canopic jars; which were used to hold the mummies organs, an image of a mummified baby, Anubis; god of the underworld, the sphinx, and the eye of horus on a pyramid. I also included a look from the Christian Dior Haute Couture 2004 show as it was heavily influenced by Ancient Egypt. My colour scheme is mostly nudes and golds with a hint of blue, because this is a recognisable Egyptial colour scheme. I used photoshop and the interent to gather and alter these secondary sourcwa. I like this mood board because I feel like it has a lot on it without looking too cluttered.
