# CREATING A MOODBOARD
Exercise
Step 1: Take the words, ideas, emotions, and imagery you discovered during the music meditation.
​
Step 2: Open Pinterest or Google Images (or another visual app that lets you discover images).
​
Step 3: Type your words into the search engine. Collect images that genuinely resonate with your music: photography, artwork, fashion, architecture, landscapes, objects, typography, textures, colors, film stills, or anything else that feels relevant.
​
Step 4: As your collection develops, look at it as one body of work.
Ask yourself:
-
What keeps appearing?
-
Which colors are becoming dominant?
-
What types of environments keep returning?
-
Are there recurring materials, objects, or symbols?
-
What kind of photography or artwork feels natural?
-
What overall atmosphere is emerging?
​
Step 5: Reduce your collection to the strongest 40 pictures and create a moodboard with them. Try to identify the patterns that connect them.
