THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN TEXAS

Austin Design Week – Moodboards by Design Discipline
Moodboards are essential to taking the first step in a design. Whether you are an architect, fashion designer, graphic designer, interior designer or wedding planner, moodboards establish the tone, look and feel of a project, and provide a baseline of reference for the entire project. In this workshop, designers of three different disciplines will show examples and discuss their process of creating moodboards and why they are important. Finally, participants will create their own moodboards to take home.
