Mood boards: ideas for characters




In this mood board I've looked into the virtue of humility and what can characters are under its banner they focus of this mood board was selfless people. The images I've used all images of beings that do selfless acts to better the lives of those around them. For example the volunteer in the top left is someone who would look after others and care for them without a reward. In the bottom left it as an image of an activist from anonymous the reason I chose this image is because anonymous are modern day vigilantes who use a guy force mask to reinforce the idea that anyone can be anonymous. In the top right used an image of Robin Hood the reason I chose this was because Robin Hood would steal from the rich and give to the poor without any force of personal gain just to help out others. In the bottom right I used an image of Superman this was to embody the view of a superhero someone who not only risks their own life but uses all the gifts they possess the better the world for all of us. As for the top middle image this is an image of Norman Bowlog that many people would know who years that he has saved more lives than anyone else has in history of the human race by almost single-handedly inventing genetically modified crops saving billions from starvation this really shows that anyone can help others. For the central image I used a picture from the TV series misfits of a superhero called super hoodie. The reason I put this image in the centre was to show that he is the embodiment of all the others that he is a hero as a hero acts selflessly with no thought of reward to better the world around him and in my opinion the hero is the embodiment of humility

In this mood board I looked into the virtue of temperance. The main theme I developed for this mood board was leaders the reason for this is that temperance is about self-control and putting the needs of others above yourself and this is commonly found within leaders whether fictional or nonfictional. For the top part of the mood board are focused on three real leaders each for the events they had to overcome in order to safeguard the people they led. On the left is an image of Nelson Mandela the reason I chose him was because even though he was thrown in prison for more than 20 years when he emerged he did not take vengeance when he rose to the office in South Africa he did quite the opposite and protected all of the people under his leadership no matter of skin colour. For the middle image I chose the image of Lincoln this is mainly down to's decision to abolish slavery during his term as president and even going as far as to rage civil war to fight for the rights of all at the cost to himself and his country. On the far right's I used an image of Winston Churchill most known for his leadership through World War II Churchill led to the people of Britain to victory against Nazi Germany even at the height of the Blitz Churchill stood strong and not give in to the nazi.



On the middle row I choose to images from the game Mass effect the two characters I've chosen where Commander Shepard and Adml Hackett these two characters both possess strong leadership qualities so for example Shepard has the loyalty of many through friendship and compassion this allows him to lead massive armies because of his strong charisma and resilience. Adml Hackett is the leader of the Alliance Navy like Shepard the Adml's battle scarred through countless wars and trials but also commads similar to Shepard but with authority.


On the middle row and the bottom row I used to images from the TV show Battle Star Galactica the first image is of Adml Dharma and the second image is of the Mdm president. The reason I chose these two leaders is because of how differently they use command as with the Adml he will use horren and courage to lead his crew but also uses strict management to quiet dissent but often the Adml will lose touch with what he is fighting for. With Mdm president she is very different to Adml Dharma in that she uses compassion and empathy to judge her leadership but often suffers from making tough decisions when the time comes.


File is I chose at the bottom was of Rob Stark from the TV show game of thrones. The reason I use Rob Stark was because of the circumstances he became a leader with his father being killed in threat of war Rob rose to the challenge and faced it head without fear to ensure the safety of his people and his family compared to some of the other leaders of Rob is very selfless in the way he conducts himself and also mess from as you will not execute unarmed prisoners even though many demand but it is not cave to their demands showing empathy for's enemies
