As more of a text person who would like to become more visual, I’m into the mood board! In fact, I’d love to get more in the weeds. What software do you use to create these mood boards? There is someone on IG that makes mood boards based on novels she’s read, and I think that might be a lovely way to go deeper into the books I love. TY!

for these i use indesign just to put multiple images on a page and adjust their sizes quickly, but other than that i don’t use anything other than a printer and an x-acto knife! when i’m making mood boards for work though i use photoshop. love the book idea!!

I love it. It's like throwing a dinner party with just one ingredient. How can we think about it holistically and individually as the bigger theme and the smaller parts? On the subject of menus, I do think a tomato dessert sounds intriguing and delicious. It is a fruit after all.
