Challenge #110

Anything Goes POSITIVE with the Opt. Twist of 

Design a Creation Inspired By

A MOOD BOARD

 

This year's goal is to take a look at the things around us that can inspire us in our creative journeys. As such, if you would like to participate in the optional twist this month, we want you to Design a Creation Inspired By a MOOD BOARD.

 

A mood board is a visual tool that allows a person to communicate design concepts and ideas. It is a collection of images, colours, textures, prints, fonts, and other design elements, all arranged to evoke a certain style or a particular feeling. What that ultimate style or feeling is, all depends on the project your are creating it for. In general, mood boards are used during the initial design process and can be used for a wide range of projects including creating a brand, designing a room, or putting together a collection of patterns. These are just a few ideas as to how mood boards are used. They can virtually assist you on any type of creative endeavour. Putting together a mood board can be an enjoyable and and innovative way to analyze your own unique personal style and bring your design concepts to life. In the process, it helps you to learn more about your likes and dislikes.

 

If you want to follow the optional twist this month, use a MOOD BOARD as the inspiration for your creation. You can use a mood board that you have designed yourself, one you find on the internet or you can use the one featured below for your inspiration. It is time to show the world how mood boards have inspired you in your creative journey.

My wonderful design team continues to outdo themselves time and time again! They each have their own style and clever interpretation of the twist. Even after all this time, I continue to be awed by the scope of excellence in their work! Each of these artful conceptions has showcased the notion of Being Inspired By a MOOD BOARD wonderfully and I hope we have motivated you to embark on your own journey of creativity.
