hmm I really don't get mood boards. I like making collases and stuff but I can't honestly see how bunch of pictures could make me inspired. Oh well, diffrent people, diffrent tastes..

So I'm not really familiar with this concept. Is this things you guys see that inspire you to create something. And you just put it together in one place?

I have a scrapbook that I keep pictures of outfits I like, or haircuts, or hair color, or just because I like the picture. and I often refer back to it for inspiration before shopping, picking an outifit to go out in.

so i guess (If I understand this correctly) I've a look book of sorts all along and never knew it.

it seems to be that in this case, a mood board is the inspiration in creating a "mood" for a collection (or another project). It's like a "theme."

So it can be different from a sketchbook with random drawings, photos of things you like. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Cool. That's what I thought. Thanks.

Obviously mine is not for a collection, but I guess I've been doing this anyone.

u got the concept!!!
creating a mood board is based on a specific theme and all photos or pics u put on it should be the ones related to that particular mood.

If I only had digi/scanner

I just checked back for your "peace" mood board, and I'm really liking the pictures you've put togheter! Togheter they make me feel sooo peaceful and kinda relaxed Nice.

^ I love it!! Creating mood boards is so much fun. I just did one for school, for a mexican, travel inspired collection. It came out really cool and helped create some pretty fun sketches.
