Mood Board

A mood board is something you get inspiration from.The direct definition though is an arrangement of images, materials, pieces of text, etc., intended to evoke or project a particular style or concept. A mood board also gives a overall mood and feel. Graphic designers, interior designers, industrial designers, photographers and other creative artists use mood boards to visually illustrate the style they wish to pursue. However, they can also be used by design professionals to visually explain a certain style of writing, or an imaginary setting for a storyline. In short, mood boards are not limited to visual subjects, but serve as a visual tool to quickly inform others of the overall "feel" (or "flow") of an idea. In creative processes, mood boards can balance coordination and creative freedom. This mood board helped my group pull everything together because we all had similar ideas. It gave us the idea on how we are going to pull our pieces together.
