What What I learn about making mood boards

Function: collect together research, visualize research and ideas, visually communicate a theme/design concept

Guidelines:
1) divides the board into thirds
2) vertically and horizontally
3) create a focal point by placing the most important elements on the intersection of two lines
4) arrange other element around the first one 

My Mood Board 

Theme: Say No! But Don’t Say No.

Making Process: 

-I printed and cut the installations I made in the past three months and some of my favorite artworks and things into pieces

-Without concern about the theme, I arrange those pieces according to the guidelines.

-After finishing the mood board, I started to brainstorm the key message or story that this board may convey.

-I thought about, all the pieces that I put on the board are things that I like (such as bright colors, cat, candy…). But sometimes, I say NO to spend time on my favorite owing to do things that I should. However, I hope I can provide more freedom to not say NO to the things I like.

-But, sometimes I should say NO. For example, when people make unreasonable demands on me, or I want to get rid of your bad habits. I should say NO.
