Fresh, Natural, Trustworthy
Mood Board
Mood boards are curated groups of images that visualize a vibe. This is the second step in narrowing down a look & feel to effectively convey your brand message.
There’s nothing quite like a breath of fresh air. Audiences looking for an assurance of quality, cleanliness or healthy living will respond to brands that share their values and proactively consider their impact on the world around them.
To carry off this vibe, brands must strike a good balance between careful curation and a relaxed mindset. It’s the embodiment of wabi sabi, hygge, and que será, será, with the sophistication that comes from experience and awareness. This can be expressed visually through layouts with a lot of white space, minimal design elements, natural materials, inviting photography, and succinct or even poetic copywriting. Using contrasting textures, hard and soft shapes and presenting work in slightly unexpected orientations—such as vertically aligned type—could add a sense of fresh perspective to your collateral.
