Rose Mood board

My recent project was to create a mood board in a sophisticated manor. I found that less is really more.

Theme

As you can see the theme is pink. I kept the focus on the main image which is in the centre and is also the brightest.
The pink colour then bleeds out into darker pinks and black, to break up the board and give it more depth. I also added fabric samples which represent some of the material seen in the images. Adding fabric samples in the way I have (which is curled over on top of each other) allows you to still see the movement and thickness, this avoids it looking flat and lifeless on the page.
I created this board using the standard glue and scissors, however there are many other ways to create a mood board which can help you get everything in line and you won't have to worry about cutting in a straight line.

Apps

For example the Apps that I have include POLYVORE I was first introduced to this in college, it allows you to easily insert newspaper clippings, effects, images and text to create a board almost like the Pinterest of mood boards as you can follow other people. The draw backs to this app are that you can't insert images, so forget about doing that collage of your holiday pictures.

Another great App is Insta size which allows you to fit all your photo on Instagram, this is initially why I downloaded it. However, once I started playing around with it I found you could create collages  its easy to use and FREE. It also has many other features such as effects and boarders, great for Instagram lovers.
