Mood boards

Mood boards and sample boards are used in

conjunction with 2D, 3D drawings and models to further communicate the design intent. Mood boards are used at the earlier stage of a project to indicate the emotional and contextual aspects of a design concept. Designers use mood or concept boards to convey the overall feel of a project, putting together images and objects which inspire, target desires and facilitate creativity and innovation.

Why mood boards matter?

Words fail miserably when trying to translate

design concepts. A picture is worth a thousand words, and mood boards are a great tool to create that picture for your client. Things that can be explored in the mood board include photography style, color palettes, typography, patterns, and the overall look and feel of the site.

 This board becomes the primary reference for fabric

and styling decisions as the line develops. Swatches of all fabrics that make up the group should be taped to the fabric board. If the phone numbers of the textile companies are included on this master board, follow-up is easy. The boards should be portable so that they can be taken into the market when shopping for textiles that will complete the fabric story.
