Typically, creating mood boards allows for collecting thoughts, ideas, color schemes and motifs into one place which helps any designer define a coherent design concept without losing sight of the bigger picture. However, mood boards can also be used early on in a research phase to collect thoughts for inspiration, even if they don’t necessarily represent or point towards a design concept yet.
Throughout this design process, mainly on my Miro whiteboard, I will be create mood boards to collect any visual material. They range from design inspiration taken by other projects, to images without much context that I believe can potentially fit into my design concept.
To kick-off, for example, I’ve collected images of public touchscreens in Sweden, and also generated a mood board filled with images of touch less interaction, ranging from gesture control, eye tracking, as well as scattered photos from science fiction movies that utilize touch less interaction / holograms.
