Today I'm sharing a FREE Canva Moodboard template to download and have fun with!
One fall morning, I was sitting in my ‘Introduction to Interior Design' class at LSU, and the professor was teaching us the basics of color theory.
“In the visual arts, color theory is a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of a specific color combination.”
I was amazed, and started learning everything I could about color palettes, color stories, color theories and anything color related.
Fast forward to today, I absolutely love sharing color inspiration and helping my clients choose their unique brand color palette.
I being every single project by creating a Moodboard. For my website templates as well as custom design projects, the Moodboard I create (sometimes called a Brand Board or Inspiration Board) will set the tone for the entire project.
A moodboard will define the exact color palette that will be used in all of your branding, including: your logo, secondary logos or submarks, website colors, email signatures, newsletter templates, and even social media marketing.
During this pandemic, I know that so many of you are starting on a new project or transitioning in your current business. If you're feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to begin- I encourage you to create a moodboard to inspire and motivate you.
Whether you are just getting started with your business, or simply wanting a brand refresh- creating a Moodboard is the first step to doing so.
*Tip: Moodboards can be used for many other things besides your brand. Are you developing a digital course that will need it's own color scheme? Are you designing and decorating a room in your home that needs a makeover? Do you want an inspirational, on-brand collage to hang in your office? Get creative- these moodboards can apply to so many things in life that will inspire you!
I've created a free canva Moodboard template (seen above) for you to use to create your very own moodboard! If you don't have a free canva account yet, you can sign up here.

and that's it!
Now you can start uploading and replacing the images and colors on the moodboard to make it your own! I love to browse pinterest and free stock photography websites for my moodboard inspiration.
