What Is a Mood Board? Organize Your Visual Inspiration

A mood board is a visual idea organization method for creative people to collect inspiration for creative projects. It is commonly used by design studios, professional designers and graphic designers. Similar to inspiration boards or idea boards, it combines collection of images, textures, design materials, aesthetic fonts or clippings from webpages or magazines that are relevant to a specific topic. The purpose of a mood board is to set the visual tone for a design project to help creative professionals brainstorm and share creative ideas with team mates, and communicate with clients.

Creativity and inspiration often seem very difficult harness, but creating a mood board can help you organize your ideas and bring them to life. You can choose a physical board to organize ideas from magazines. Or your can take advantage of digital or online tools and use the drag-and-drop feature to organize a number of unique elements from multiple sources into a digital moodboard. If you are a visual person, creating a mood board is an effective way to convey your ideas to the world.

On the Windows version, NoteLedge makes it easy for you to drag images and texts from a web browser and drop to your notes. You can trace the webpage and pin source and view more information later.
