The process of creating your mood board doesn't have to be complicated. Whether you choose to pull images from the Internet and assemble them online, or grab some foam board, Elmer's glue, and a stack of magazines is completely up to you.
The physical mood board experiment begins withselection and a thorough examination of punk-relatedmagazines. Any relevant images are selected, cut andarranged on an A5 size foam board. A large image isallocated in the central position as the main focus withsubsequent smaller images surrounding it. Severalpunk fashion accessories are also being collected tomake use of all possible combinations of media. Afterall resources are arranged on the board, a reflectionperiod takes place
The reflection period is an integral stage for thesuccess of mood board development and it is at thispoint that the board is analysed over a long period of time. The continuing process of searching for relevantmaterial was not halted (nor was it at any point) todetermine whether any new resources could beincluded or be used to replace existing media. Duringthis reflection period, the images were analysed, theirrelevance discussed and it was decided that moredevelopment was necessary.

It was predicted that the processwould be similar but take significantly less time andthis was revealed to be true. Prior to this project, andthe commencement of the physical mood board, littleinformation was known on the topic of mood boards.But having analysed the design process in depth andsuccessfully completed the physical board, experiencehas been gained which has been applied to creating thedigital board. This cannot be denied and must beaccounted for when discussing the digital board designprocess
The iterative process described in the developmentof the physical mood board was not as evident whencreating the digital board due to the vast choice of images offered by the digital library. Once images wereselected for inclusion on the board, confidence washigh that they were the most appropriate so thecontinuous search for new material became futile.An obvious advantage of using a graphics packageto create a mood board is the availability of editingtools such as blurring, filling and fading.
