Moodboard

A Moodboard is a visual tool that combines images, colors, fonts/a>, textures, and other design elements. The goal is to show the intended look and feel of a project. It serves as a visual guide. It helps designers and clients share their ideas and also sets the overall style for the design project.

Moodboards are created at the beginning of a design project to guide the process. They help keep all design choices consistent with the original vision.
