For the theme of layers I wanted to originate my ideas from a very literal idea of “layers.” After some brainstorming between pages of a book and the layers of bird feathers, I landed on the idea of cake layers.” I first make a draft moodboard to just target colours and textures for the final piece.
Using the online software “Canva” I compiled various textures and colours based on cake flavours/types.Final overall mood board on A3 paper. I made usage of paper cutouts from magazines and found material from my work place. As well as this I included colour sample slips of card to help focus on certain colours.
following this I focused in on one individual cake flavour/type. Again I made a draft moodboard using Canva that is shown below, followed by a final one.
I explored the idea of a mainly black, yellow and gold colour theming, including the addition of a marble effect.

I still wanted to further the red/pink colour combination saw in the original moodboard so decided to using various materials to do so.
Final pink/red cake layer themed moodboard. Made using paper, sticks covered in oil pastels, magazine cut outs in a gradient and found packaging material found from my work place.
