Mood Board:
Have you ever created a mood board? Today as I was working on improving this blog, I ran across fantastic opportunity to work on creating a mood board for free through BrackenHouse Branding.
It was simple and fun. This free intro opportunity leads the creator through five days of contemplation, in order to determine the mood and feel the creator would like for his or her website.
Mood boards are not only useful for website design and branding, they can be useful in decorating and even just creating inspirational goals for living when you aren't quite sure which direction you are heading. For example, if you know you want more out of life, pull up a pinterest site or grab some magazines if you are retro, and snip and clip and pin away. Over time color and image themes will begin to unfold before your eyes. Maybe you are all about the turquoise and gold this week, in anticipation of summers at the beach! Maybe you find yourself pinning quotes about finding a new job in mail delivery. Whatever it is, mood boards are great way to get in touch with what you are feeling through color and image.
Of course, I have the patience of the bunny rabbit, so I rushed through all five days at once and created my template. This tutorial discusses color theory and how one can use color influence readers and buyers. There are several more steps, but I quickly just made my moodboard, because that is how I roll. Some of the quotes are off center, which trust me, drives me crazy, but overall, I love the
hopeful, cozy, romantic feeling of my board.
So without further adieu, here is my board:
This is the overall feeling I hope this blog is able to convey and capture this spring. I want this place to be inspirational and dreamy and full of hope of more and better.
