Want to refresh your brand or create a new brand?
A great place to start is with a moodboard – a great brand-building tool that lets you take your creativity to the next level! Just like you might use a Pinterest board for ideas for a kitchen remodel or how an interior designer creates an inspiration board with a color palette, photos of furniture, and sample textures – moodboards provide a source of inspiration for your brand identity.
In essence, a moodboard sets the tone and aesthetic for a project or brand by featuring a collection of designs, images, shapes, symbols, fonts, and colors – creating consistency across your brand and conveying your business values.
When Do You Need a Moodboard?
Having a moodboard is helpful when you are creating a new brand, doing a brand refresh, or any graphic design project. The moodboard helps with approval and collaboration on the look and feel of a project or brand. If you don’t know what direction you’d like your design to go, having a mood board can provide ideas and narrow down design choices.
Why Should You Invest in a Brand Mood Board
There are many benefits of investing in a mood board for your brand.
- Makes collaboration easier and saves time in choosing the look and feel of your brand.
- Builds a strong visual framework.
- Enables you to revisit it as you create new designs to ensure they follow the same aesthetic.
- Serves as a resource for your marketing team and other creative partners so they can accurately and effectively communicate your brand visually.
