Moodboard Reference

A moodboard helps communicate design ideas visually and define a project. It allows you to express your vision through images that represent colors, textures, patterns and feelings. To create an effective moodboard, collect images that depict your personal style and lifestyle. Arrange the images on the board and experiment with different compositions until you are satisfied. Keywords can also help convey your abstract message. The goal is for the collection of images to tell your story.

Why Do We Use A Moodboard?

 To give us a process to build a clear design story that we want to use in


the space.
 Using a moodboard helps you to express the vision you have in mind for
the project.
 Sometimes its very complicated to express your visual ideas to others. A
moodboard is a very efficient visual communication tool.
 A moodboard is a good starting point to get things done. It will help you
collate and focus your ideas, and help to define the project.
How Do We Create A Moodboard?
As with most design processes. There is a ‘standard’ process that’s useful to
follow. But as we are designing, I believe that being creative and not following the
rules exactly will always give you the best result.
Creating a moodboard will help you to explore and ‘find your own style’ too. The
best way to learn about something in design is to do it. Which is why I want you
take some time to create a moodboard that represents your own style.  
Think about your home, your clothes, your office, your holidays, things you
dream of. What do they look like? What do these things feel like? What are the
common threads? Is it a colour? A texture? A pattern? A feeling/emotion?

Collect images that represent these thoughts. These images will tell your story
and when they come together will start to show you your style. The collection of
images will represent your lifestyle and personal style.  You can take your time
with this.

Move the images about on the board to create different compositions.  Play
around with the images until you are happy with the images that you have.

I know that this is hard to do when you’ve not done it before, but we all start at
the beginning. My first few moodboards weren’t very impressive but I started
learning how they worked while doing it.

This isn’t something you can learn by reading about it. You need to do it.
Another important element to moodboards that can help beginners to convey
their message very effectively is to use keywords to help tell your story. 2 or 3
well selected keywords that help you to describe the abstract message you’re
trying to get across.
This is one that I prepared for a client who was looking for some interior ideas for
his luxury country home. Note how I combined keywords, lifestyle images and
interior images to get across the intended look and feel of the space.

There isn’t an exact number of images that need to be used in a moodboard. I’ve
seen some that simply have just 1 image and some that have up to 30. What’s
important is that they tell your story.
