As a designer/creative person, I am constantly on the look out for things that will inspire me and bookmarking them for later. Pinterest has been a really great tool to aid in the process, but at some point you have to pick through the weeds to find inspiration for a particular project. My process is usually like this…
Step 1: Find some tunes that fit your current mood or the mood of the project you’re working on.
Step 2: Sift through all your gathered images/resources/links and pull out the ones that fit nicely with your concept or tone (Ex: in this case a cold gray day)
Step 3: Organize your findings neatly to help you tell your story
* Look for more of my mood board in the future.
I love this! Gray is a favorite neutral of mine…and it’s very gray out today (always is in Seattle in the winter). Music is the best way to get into the mood of your project. This might seem nuts, but I often only listen to one song that really fits with a project! It works for me
Glad you like this Amy. I do the same thing. Find one song and put it on repeat until the project is done
great selection. i am loving no. 1.
I love the idea of a mood board, and the one above is perfect! Might have to have a go at creating one of my own.
I have been loving black and white photos lately. These are beautiful!
These inspirations are all yummy!
gorgeous. gray is one of my favorite colors.
Thanks for sharing your process. Sorting through inspiration can be super overwhelming!
I totally agree. I’m a visual person so I tend to be able to clump like imagery together pretty well, but mood boards are really helpful tools to tell your story. Thanks for stopping by!
