Mood Board Builder Skill

When to Use

• Early concepting for campaigns, product launches, or rebrands.
• Presenting creative direction options to stakeholders.
• Aligning distributed teams/agencies on look and feel.

Framework

1. Inspiration Sourcing – collect references from brand archives, industry examples, and trend boards.
2. Palette Definition – propose color, typography, texture, and motion cues.
3. Layout Assembly – organize visuals into narrative sections (story, audience, execution).
4. Annotation Layer – add notes on why each reference matters, usage guidelines, and accessibility considerations.
5. Feedback Hooks – include prompts for stakeholders to vote/comment.

Templates

• Figma/Canva board layout.
• PDF deck template with sections (vision, palette, typography, photography).
• Feedback form with scoring rubrics.

Tips

• Limit each board to 3–4 cohesive directions to avoid choice overload.
• Include real campaign copy snippets to ground visuals.
• Pair with creative-director outputs for swift approval.
