How my Mood Boards helped me?

Lighthouse Mood Board

My lighthouse mood board showed me the general design of lighthouses for me to base my concept art and when I come to it, my final design. I learned that lighthouses are not always just the typical tower but can have other structures attached or near by (usually being a residence for the lighthouse keeper or supplies for the lighthouse to keep running). I also found out that they can be made of different materials as well as have different uses from the mood board such as some just being a goal/light to reach, whilst others were used as a warning sign/light for boats to avoid an area.

Medieval Mood Board

My medieval mood board showed me what my research meant about the different styles of medieval architecture of Romanesque and Gothic being quite differing ways to construct, but both were used during this period and has given me inspiration on what sort of design and shape my lighthouse is going to take. It backed up my research of simple shapes such as rectangles and materials such as wood and stone.
