How to Create a Mood Board: Step by Step Guide

Dear Lerner's

A mood board is a physical or digital collage of inspiration. A mood board help us to generate new ideas for your personal or professional work. A mood board are generally used in fields like interior design, fashion, and graphic design.

From multi-team projects to building the bases of a company, learning to use mood boards as part of your initial brainstorming process can help you save time and energy when developing an idea.

Reason to Create a Mood Board



Help to Build a Robust Foundation


A mood board helps us to create a strong foundation for any project. A mood board will help to analyse the brand's purpose, vision, brand aesthetics, and many more. Sometimes it’s even beneficial to create a few mood boards that highlight various elements of the project so that you can provide a holistic, optical landscape before initiating.

It also helps you to create the basics of what the result could ideally look like.

Clarify the Vision


A mood board on display helps remind you of the original goal. Examining your mood board regularly can also help inform all the slight decisions you make towards the primary goal.

Easy Collaboration


Collaboration depends on the team will clearly understanding of the primary goal. It helps you to explain how you want a design to look. It displays a design concept and color theory that should be used in the project. A mood board help you to achieve all of these.

Easy to Communicate Your Idea

A mood board is a clear picture of your idea and design concept. Usually, a creative professional like a graphic or interior designer will build a mood board to present their ideas to a client. From there, the client will probably give feedback about the suitability of the general idea or the strength of certain items on the mood board over others. They might even choose between numerous mood boards the designer has used to present different possibilities. A layperson planning their event or design project won’t have clients, but they will probably also need to communicate their ideas to someone else at some point — a contractor, collaborator or if it’s a wedding, their fiancé.

How to Create an Inspirational Mood Board

Basic steps you need to follow while creating a mood board. If you are doing a personal project, the initial step you need to take is brainstorming. Initially, define your theme, take inspiration from other projects, and collect a list of what you want in your project.

Collection
Take your early bases of inspiration, then challenge yourself to think outside of the box to find better. Display architectural designs, colors, wallpapers, furniture, and many more, on your mood board.

In the end, review, curate and present your mood board.
