Moodboard Generator

Moodboard Generator

Every design project starts with a feeling. The Moodboard Generator turns a random mood into a concrete brief: a palette of hex colors, keywords to search for images, textures to look for and a font style to pair with them.

Example output

• Botanical garden moodboard
• Palette: #2D6A4F #95D5B2 #D8F3DC #1B4332 #F4E285
• Keywords: ferns, terracotta pots, morning dew, herbs
• Textures: leaves, rattan, watercolor paper
• Type: organic serif

Twelve moods

Cozy autumn, coastal calm, dark academia, neon nights, clean minimal, botanical garden, 70s retro, soft pastel, desert sunset, modern luxury, cyber future and whimsical fairytale. Each mood has seven curated colors, eight keywords, five textures and three font directions, and the generator samples a different mix every time.

How designers use moodboards

Branding. Before drawing a logo, agree on the feeling. A moodboard is the quickest way to check whether a client means "luxury" as in black and gold or as in soft cream and brass.

Interior design. Use the palette for walls and textiles and the textures list for materials – linen, rattan, terracotta or brushed brass.

Illustration and photography. The palette limits your colors, which gives a series a consistent look. The keywords become a shot list.

Events and weddings. Planners share moodboards with florists, bakers and stylists so everyone works toward the same picture.

Building a visual board

1. Generate a moodboard and copy the brief.
2. Search stock photo sites or Pinterest for each keyword and texture.
3. Arrange six to twelve images on a board, add the palette as swatches and type a headline in the suggested font style.
4. Remove anything that does not match the mood – a good moodboard is as much about what you leave out.
