Thanks for the article, it’s really helpful for us who don’t use it in a standard manner. Anyway, I belive art176 is pointing out an important subject and I have to agree that this can be really great for clients with clear ideas but maybe not so good when facing someone insecure or who changes his mind really often or quickly.

Thx for sharing

from my experience mood boards do not work with any type of client,

but with the right type, as you wrote Walter, it helps the client to buy in
Some clients do not have the ability to imagine the “graphic” relationship between the mood oard and the future project (very true for logotypes, but less with websites & identities)

your article helped me to understand, that you can have different types of mood boards too, the ones showed here give a very specific direction to the project and becomes a “board of your mood”, your interpretation of the clients needs… thats something to expplore

check some of my moodboards to see how I approach this first step of the creative process : http://www.art176.com/mood-boards/

That is a really nice article describing the different stages of the process. Do you use or have you considered using any online tools for creating moodboards?

Now I’m learning how mood boards can be creatively used for site lay-outs. The sample for the collage type looks like a pretty baby book which exactly fits its purpose.

This is definitely a great idea and a good way to deal with really picky clients who seem to always change their minds.

This is quite informative. Thanks so much! I learned a little about mood boards in school, but to see them being used is good. It really sets the style and tone of the design.
