New Year, New Mood (Board): Creating A Mood Board For Your Brand
As the new year rings in this Friday, now is the perfect time to start thinking about resolutions, goals, and new branding strategies for your brand in 2021! What better way of creating a visual representation of your vision and ideas than a mood board? Here are some answers to your frequently asked questions on creating a mood board for your brand:
What is a Mood Board?
Like a vision board, a mood board is a collage of images, colors, and other objects that define & communicate your brand identity on a visual platform. Mood boards help set the tone of your brand’s aesthetic and attributes you wish to showcase.
Here’s a branding kit we’ve created at Social-Me Solutions, featuring a mood board concept! 
Why Does My Brand Need One?
Mood boards bring the ideas that may be floating in your head to life. As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Digging through images and videos can help spark inspiration on your brand’s next product launch or even a rebrand.
What Makes A Great Mood Board?
Take your brand’s mood to another level – include imagery, colors, words, textures, patterns, and/or shapes to get detailed. Mood boards serve as great guides to create your brand’s marketing and identity!
