I honestly feel like this article speaks the truth on mood boards: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2008/12/why-mood-boards-matter/
I enjoy creating mood boards because, as I’ve posted before, I really love experimenting with colour in design. Even though it can be a tedious process (especially when you make one as a collage in Photoshop) it really is worth it in the end. I have 2 upcoming mood boards to create for CMS – one about our film concept and one about the characters.
Below is a mood board collage template I designed to make life easier when time constraints exist 🙂
