think i'm looking for samples of what people have done in terms of moodboards apart from the standard collage of pictures.
like to see how creative people have taken a moodboard and the different approaches they have decided to taken

clients love to see mood boards
we all know they are a load of w*nk though

When I first started creating moodboards a few years ago for the first time, I though they where also a load of crap and a bunch of BS... Well, besides the clients loving them and spending a boat load of money on creating them, moodboards actually set the tone for the project and you often will get "buy-in" particularly on a large project from the client.
Creating moodboards beats creating (2 to 5) random concepts out of your ass, and then having client tell you to GFY.

Do any of you guys have a process for developing mood boards?

How do you deal with an Art Director who insists on basically copying the work shown in the mood board(other peoples work, stuff grabbed from google searches), as the client said they like it?
- fucking do it, what's the problem? are you talking about me?doesnotexist
- tweak slightly to make it your own.kona

- lol, doesnotGnash
- it's an internal process and helps me communicate what is "good" for the project. great place to start anything is to copy.doesnotexist

Who out there is actually using them as part of their workflow?
What are the benefits? How is the client response? Has it ever gotten you into trouble?
I've never done it, but I do see the value in it. Thinking about possibly making it part of my process when it makes sense to do so.
- i do. benefits are you can loosely show concept without doing a lot of work. never any trouble.doesnotexist
- i used to a lot for an agency i worked for. i found it necessary for some clients who really couldn't grasp anything but visuals.kona
- then, the company started to use them as a crutch and charge a fuck load to clients for mood boards. then, much like fruitsalad the companykona
- started to tell us to just copy from the mood board to save time and money. i quit not to long after.kona
- i normally do this on my own though for every project. more of an inspirational board that i use to help inform my process.kona
- It helps the client to get a better picture. Gives him more confidence, something to hold on. Since they often don't have the imaginagion to get the idea/look.Longcopylover
- ^ yup. "imagine this, mixed with THIS. cool, right?!"doesnotexist
- Thanks for the helpful responses you guys! Some good points you made.nocomply

i use pinterest. it's easy to invite clients to the board, and everyone knows how to use it.
- mood boards are essential to my process and i use them on almost every project. sometimes they're research, sometimes it's building type/emotive worlds.doesnotexist

these guys do "stylescapes" for presentation to clients:
interesting approach. The boards are huge.
- doesnotexist0
for presentations i use large foam boards and pin letter-size prints on it. one board for color, one for each segment of the concept that seems relevant. graphics/architecture/interiors...
surrounded by visuals, concepts start to become real.
