How to Make a Moodboard


Today, I did a how to make a moodboard post for Angel of Studio 404 all about the process I go through to make moodboards and some of the examples of moodboards that I have made.


  1. Pick a theme or reason for creating it. For example, for your brand or for fun.
  2. Collect the images. I collect my images from Pinterest, although you could create a real pinboard to reflect the aesthetic you want to give or just use images off the internet.
  3. Pick the most important images that reflect your theme the best.
  4. Choose a programme to make your moodboard in. For example, you could use Photoshop or PicMonkey. You can check out my tutorials for using PicMonkey on my blog if you want too.
  5. Add the images into the programme you have chosen.
  6. Change the layout, mix about the images.
  7. Add in a few colours that reflect the colours in your images. To do this I use this programme to get the exact colours I’ve found in the image.
  8. Check that it looks perfect, reflects the theme and can be interpreted into a brand or design if needed.

I’m so excited to have Hannah of Not Very Obsessed on the blog today. She’s covering some quick tips on how to make a moodboard, something that has become a huge part of my branding process. Hannah is a wonderful blogger who shares some great insight on her blog and I hope you enjoy this post!



Today I just wanted to share with you this mood board that I had created.  I have always wanted to be able to create really nice mood boards using a free web programme and make ones to look just like some of the ones I see on the internet







This mood board that I created recently has a really minimalistic style and is all black + white which I really wanted to reflect in it. I am really liking minimalistic images at the moment and so thought making this mood board would be a great idea to collect some of my favourite images. I love making mood boards and have so much fun creating them. I love collecting the images to do with a specific theme and then choosing the best ones and adding them all into one image that just looks beautiful.
