For the longest time I had wanted one, because then I could organize my ideas easier.
But what exactly is a mood board?
Mood boards are pretty much a visual representation of current thoughts, ideas, dreams, and projects. As you can see, mine is filled with photographs from magazines. That's because I love drawing people, as well as the ideas and the concepts these photos give me. They also give me plenty of story ideas.
So how do you go about making a mood board?
It's pretty simple. I'll go over the steps with you.
1) Pick a theme. It could be anything- maybe a current project, and the inspiration for it, or maybe a dream or goal you are working towards, and the motivation and goals to get you there. My theme was, you guessed it, people. I also included things that make me happy.
2) Get your inspiration and supplies together. Now this step doesn't have to take place all at once. You can do it all at once, or you can slowly add to it. I did mine at once. I included magazine clippings, smash book pieces, and of course, my Taylor Swift polaroid.
3) Start arranging your materials. They can go on in any order you want.
Another thing, if you ever feel like you need to change it, or maybe your inspiration has changed, don't feel afraid to redo it!
So there you go! Hope you have fun creating your own mood board!
