Mood Board

My mood board contains a number of images related to reggae and the Rastafarian culture. Important images include:
  • Damian 'Jr. Gong Marley - A popular reggae artist. Image chosen due to his long dreadlocks which are part of the Rastafarian culture.
  • 'Flaming Rasta' - A cartoon icon of a Rastafarian, with flames the colour of the Ethiopian flag.
  • 'Reggae'/'Roots' - Fonts I'm likely to use
  • Cannabis Leaf/Spliff - Cannabis is very important in Rastafarian culture
  • 'Reggae Splash' - A image i found containing music, dreadlocks and the 'Lion Of Judah'. All popular thing to do with Reggae and the Rastafarian Culture
  • Burning Spear - A popular reggae artist.
  • Toots & The Maytals - The founders of Reggae. This particular album cover contains a guitar which is a widely used instrument in reggae music.
  • Bob Marley - The best selling reggae artist.
  • The Lion Of Judah - Very important in Rastafarian culture and often found on reggae related work.
  • The Beach - Reggae originated in Jamaica and is popular throughout the Caribbean.
  • Haile Sellasie - Emperor Of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie is revered as the religious symbol for God incarnate among the Rastafari movement.
The background is a fade of the colours of the Ethiopian flag: Red, Gold and Green.
