The mood board provides visual inspiration for a project by collecting colors, textures, images, materials, and other design elements that reflect the overall vibe and feeling being explored. Examples of what may be included on a mood board are photographs from magazines or online sources, fabric or material swatches, drawings, words, and other artifacts that represent the aesthetic and conceptual direction for the project. Creating a mood board at the beginning of a design process helps identify common themes and set the creative direction and tone before diving into specific designs or solutions.
