Decorative Trim Mood Boards
Mood Boards are a Great Tool for Creating that Picture Which is Worth a Thousand Words
A mood board, or inspiration board, is a compilation of inspirational elements that organizes your ideas into a visual representation of the emotions behind your design. These collages, virtual or real, are used in a variety of design disciplines to highlight trends. Mood boards are used for visual brainstorming at the beginning a project to flesh out ideas and communicate a look and feel.
Mood boards are valuable in establishing the aesthetic feel of a product. Patterns, photos and words are brought together to tell a story. This high level approach allows the designer to give direction and get feedback aligning efforts in a consistent direction. Whether designing an automotive interior, appliance trim or a laptop cover, mood boards are effective in exploring color, texture, pattern and the overall look and feel of a product. Elegant or bold? Handcrafted warmth or engineered precision? Words begin to clarify our ideas and mood boards are worth a thousand words.
