mood boards

I really, really really,really need inspiration to get started with inspiration boards. I've got one or two images that I find could make up one board but then I need more and I don't know if I should use my bigger or smaller piece of art block for it.

I'm really hoping finding these boards will help me, I shall dream of them tonight. I'm a lazy person, so all credit/sources are hover&click, okay?

Creature Comforts still has my vote for having the best mood/inspiration boards on a board, literally.






















I actually need fabric swatches for my board, should I go get some? Its hard to get them in the same group of hues though. Damnit I wished I had a really good printer, I want to get some awesome typography and whimsical outlines and images. Grrr..

check out http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Studio.jsp for some boards as well

my heart will sing, song after song

I'm feeling doubtful of myself because my first attempt to make a mini-inspiration board doesn't seem to match up with my expectations of what a good board is supposed to look like. It's inspiring to find examples of gorgeous work to inspire me but I get stressed out when the quality of work I produce isn't on par with their works. Is that weird?

Cause I've also browsed through a whole lot of really horrible digital boards as well and they trick is knowing how to layer and arrange the entire thing so it looks harmonic. I mean I can stick pictures side by side, one next to the other, but the tricky part is where to position them.





this is the trick, mixing fabrics et textures to overlap
plus image arrangement & execution
Some i've seen have images with color tones that don't even match with the whole look or theme. Or maybe i'm just over-thinking as usual.





















I want to have an inspiration booklet as well as pieces of artwork in single sheets of paper for my portfolio. I'm also collecting pretty adverts from my old magazines and I think I'm going to have "THE BOOK" of my own by transforming an old clear folder of mine. I really want a cork board that I can play around with to mix different textures and fabrics that cannot be merely "glued" on.
