What should you put on a fashion design board?

A mood board is...

• A constant source of inspiration and a reference tool.

• A visualization tool to explore colours, textures, shapes.

• To communicate the look, feel and energy of an idea.

• To sell a concept or idea to a customer or team.

• Your mood board needs to give your buyer a feeling and vibe straight away. It needs to present your idea and tell a story and make a statement.

A Moodboard

Happens early in your design journey.

It must have a consistent colour palette, colour codes, informative imagery, key words (such as collection titles and descriptive words) fabric types you will focus on, lots of images on what you are going for.

A design board is...

• a visual communication of your own original design

• Demonstrates the vibe or feel of the garment and how it would be worn

• communicates a target audiences through use of model and key words (such as a brand name)

• Visually communicates how a textile pattern could be used in a collection or garment

• Visually communicates how a garment would be constructed.

A design board

Happens after all experimentation and research of the creative journey. It is the final design.

Your model illustration is important - the pose, appearance, accessories and hair should be considered carefully.
