Brief + Moodboard

Putting together a mood board about myself felt odd. The strangest thing was trying to figure out if the images I was putting in were representations of myself or if I was recalling memories where those were the strongest and clearest images that stood out. 

In the end what I had placed in my moodboard was a mix of both my aesthetics that defined my style, personality, and memories that gave an insight of my childhood and how I turned out the way I did.

It turns out that, I am incredibly nostalgic about recurring senses of my childhood, very influenced by many things from culture to things I found cool once, and have an odd sense. Sometimes finding things that people would turn away from appealing, such as the smell of chinese calligraphy ink, or the taste of century egg.

I asked a childhood friend if the images matched who I was, and then I asked a family member just to be sure I was accurately and critically describing myself, and not an idealized version of myself.

If I were to give myself a mark out of 10, I’d say that I worked hard enough that I deserve a 9.
