mood boards
Visual planning layouts
A mood board is a collage of images, colors, textures, and text assembled to convey the aesthetic direction of a creative project.
Designers, photographers, and marketing teams use mood boards to establish visual tone before production begins: We put together a mood board for the client's rebrand.
The term extends to personal inspiration collections on platforms like Pinterest.
