“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)
