Creating My Brand
In the this final installment of how and why you should create moodboards, I make a mood board for this blog, Current Plate of Affairs.
The name came to me in the middle of the night a few months ago and I ran with it. It seems to encompass the brand I want to share with the world.
Current Plate of Affairs will discuss a wide variety of topics because our soup du jour is always changing. Culture. Food. Art. Travel. Ideas. Life. Anything is fair game. Expect bright and fresh ideas that analyze human beings and the world they live in.
Culture is a big part of the brand Current Plate of Affairs aims to bring to its readers.
Acknowledging culture of the past, criticizing the culture of the present and dreaming about the culture of the future are important here.
Food. The lifeblood that nourishes the body and soul.
Nothing beats a good meal and Current Plate of Affairs aims to bring you the freshest and most unique ideas and dishes.
The power of cuisine to bring people together is like no other.
Despite all being different and having different tastes (and palates, literally) food is an excellent bonding agent.
Ever wonder why people ask if there’s going to be food there before agreeing to go to an event? Food is also used as a reward system.
Art. The notion that everything can be art is true, it’s not just drawing and paintings, it’s also music, architecture, furniture, literature, the spoken word.
Notice in this image how there are many lines of different colors and hues that come together to create this fantastic and eye-catching work. This is symbolic of the different types of art musing together to create a great work of art.
Art can also be a metaphor for humanity and how everyone is part of the same system so cohesion and compassion are necessary.
Ideas. Current Plate of Affairs discusses ideas. Current Plate of Affairs does not fall victim to the herd. Current Plate of Affairs’ voice will be heard.
Just like in the photo, light will emerge from the dark and mysterious undertones.
Travel. Again, Current Plate of Affairs aims to uncover the mysterious of our beautiful world and help you remove yourself from intermittent plaguing brain fog and stay true to yourself.
Physical travel or emotional and psychological travel for growth is encouraged here.
Life. Current Plate of Affairs discusses life and lifestyle from a fresh perspective.
Much like this tree, Current Plate of Affairs acknowledges the twists and turns and hardships that are required to grow.
Current Plate of Affairs knows that life challenges reaps beautiful rewards.
Personal growth and reflection is important in the face of challenges and when times are good. Growing into the person you are or want to be is a difficult process, at Current Plate of Affairs provides you with the encouragement to set the world alight, much like the focal point of this photograph.
