When to use it.
Moodboard is a pair of 1600×1200 boards a designer presents to a client before any logo or layout is drawn, shown here for a ceramics café opening in Lisbon. The first board sets the mood: eight numbered photos in a tight masonry grid with captions, the idea in one sentence, five keywords and a six-colour palette drawn as arches, with hex and RGB values and the share each colour takes. The second covers type, texture and materials: a display and text font pairing with a type scale and a sample menu, six textures, a materials schedule for the fit-out and a list of what to avoid.
