How to make a moodboard

Collect references, arrange them by relationship, name what repeats and refine toward a clear direction.

Begin with a question

Write one sentence about the feeling or decision the board should support. A narrow prompt makes selection easier.

Add the source link and a short note about what caught your attention. The note matters more than collecting another near-duplicate image.

Move related references close together. Label recurring qualities such as soft daylight, rounded edges or quiet contrast.

Remove material that does not support the direction. Keep a small intention checklist beside the final group.
