Week 4 Day 1 Homework: Moodboard + Resources

1. Create a digital mood board for Project 1 (due next class, 8:30, Thursday, Jan 31. The overall visuals presented in your mood board should address the following:

  • Visual theme (via inspirational images)
  • Color scheme (what colors will you use, between 2-5 colors)
  • Textures (subtle backgrounds, visuals used to enhance depth/contrast)
  • Type styles (font family, primary font vs secondary)

The visual language used in your moodboard should pre-empt your layout design ideas for project 1. Be sure to consider legibility, usability,  and visual hierarchy throughout the design process.
