What is the Mood Board Creator?
The Mood Board Creator is a visual collaboration tool that allows you to aggregate images, color palettes, and notes into a cohesive collage. It serves as a "visual sandbox" for defining the aesthetic direction of a brand, campaign, or project before detailed design work begins.
Why Use a Mood Board?
Mood boards are essential for bridging the gap between abstract concepts and concrete visuals:
- Align Stakeholders: Ensure clients and team members are on the same page visually, reducing revision cycles later.
- Explore Directions: Quickly test different styles (e.g., "Minimalist" vs. "Bold") without spending hours on high-fidelity comps.
- Define Palettes: Extract colors from inspirational images to build a harmonious brand color scheme.
How to Create a Mood Board
- Upload & Collect: Upload your own images or use the built-in "Stock Library" to find inspiration.
- Arrange: Drag, drop, and resize elements on the canvas. Use the "Bring to Front" tools to layer images.
- Annotate: Add sticky notes to explain your choices or highlight specific details.
- Refine: Use the "Extract Colors" tool to generate a palette from your images.
