Mood Board – White Space & Quiet Power

✨ How to Use Mood Boards Creatively

Mood boards are not rules. They are starting points.

Use them as a tonal compass rather than a checklist. Borrow a colour but ignore the imagery. Use the texture but change the subject. Take the mood and apply it to a completely different genre.

The purpose is not to copy what you see, but to translate a feeling into your own visual language.

Let this one guide you into restraint, clarity, and confident simplicity.
