Background on mood boards
Before we break down some mood board templates, perhaps we should first answer the question, “what is a mood board?” Well, a mood board is a visual design document that uses images and text to impart a specific feeling. Traditionally, mood boards used static images only, but with the advent of online templates, they’ve begun to integrate gifs, videos, etc. as well.

1. Find a series of photographs
With StudioBinder, you can use a custom-template by simply importing photographs – but first, you need to find some photographs, and decide on what kind of mood you want to impart!
Let’s say I’m working on a cyberpunk-themed project; I’d want to include a series of neon-lit, industrial-styled photos.
To find them, I’d search for relevant keywords like “cyberpunk movies” and “cyberpunk games.”
