“Mood boards are a collection of visual images (e.g. photographs, material
samples) gathered together to represent an emotional response to a design brief”
Mood Board Content
“Designers may use [Mood Boards] to communicate intangible and abstract
emotions such as happiness, sadness, and calm.
[Mood Boards] can also be an internal process for
designers to support them in clarifying and interpreting their own understanding of
the design brief and the wider implications of the
design project.”– McDonagh et al. (2002)
