Moodboards are one of my favorite creative tools. (Golly Gee, I bet you didn't know that. LOL)
When I’m exploring an idea, I’ll often gather colors, textures, and imagery that capture the feeling I’m drawn to. It helps me see the mood of a design before I actually start creating it.
Here are two examples of moodboards I built while exploring textures like weathered wood, ocean blues, and aged patina tones.
From those moodboards came two Whimsykel decoupage tissue paper designs:
Baroque Patina and Winter Patina.
Same creative process.Two completely different outcomes.
Can you see or feel the same feeling in both the moodboard and the final design?
That’s the magic of inspiration.
Curious…
Would you be interested in learning more about using moodboards to spark your own creative ideas (or even how to make them)? 👀
If so, I might put together a little Creative AF lesson on it.
