La guida al moodboard

17 October 2026

Start from something you like

Pick something you like and begin the research from there. Notice what catches your eye: that is the starting point.

  • "Aesthetics" is the keyword to search with.
  • Cosmos lets you search by colour, or by image.
  • Instagram works well too: use your saved collections as the broadest categories.

Tools

  • Pinterest
  • Cosmos
  • Instagram and TikTok
  • Canva Whiteboards
  • MyFonts, to identify the right font
  • Are.na

Assembling the board

  1. Colour. The board needs one unified palette. Pick the colours and export them to Canva.
  2. Typography. Find the right font (MyFonts helps with this).
  3. Visuals and elements. Look at what they have in common and what you like about them: how the text is "spread" across the layout, where the elements sit, how they communicate with each other.

What to include

  • Effects
  • Textures and materials
  • Graphics and typography
  • Colours

One more thing

Annotate every image with a short description, so the board stays clear and organised.
