Reflect on your mood board process. What did it teach you about yourself?
I LOVE finding images for mood boards. I find all my images from Pinterest, which is great because Pinterest automatically suggests similar images from the ones I choose, which is super helpful when I want to find more of the same kind. When I start mood boarding, I start with an idea in mind and start diving into general searches until I begin to get an idea of what exactly I want in an image. I am very specific and picky when it comes to choosing pictures because I want them to convey the exact mood I am going for. This used to be a very long and painstaking process, but after having created countless mood boards over the past few years, I know exactly what kind of keywords to type into the search for the perfect image to come up, which speeds up the process by a lot.
From this mood boarding assignment, I learned that I am predictable and know what I like. I found some images that I had saved a few years ago and found that I still resonate with those images. I am into graphic, bright, and bold designs but outside of work and design I really dive into my introvert tendencies and go for more still and calm images— and both give me a sense of joy.
I would give myself a 9 for my mood boards. I feel like they accurately describe my “vibe” as they say.
