Create a Mood Board on Windows
Here's how to Create a Mood Board on Windows.
There are many ways to create a mood board on Windows, but I will suggest two of them that are free and easy to use. You can either use an online tool like Canva or PureRef, or you can use a desktop application like PureRef. Let me explain how each of them works.
- Canva: Canva is a popular online graphic design platform that offers a wide range of templates, images, icons, fonts, and other elements to create stunning mood boards. You can access Canva from any web browser and sign up for a free account. To create a mood board with Canva, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to the [Canva mood board creator] page and click on the **Start Designing a Mood Board** button.
2. Choose a template that suits your project or start from scratch with a blank canvas.
3. Drag and drop images, text, icons, shapes, and other elements from the left sidebar onto your canvas. You can also upload your own images or search for more from Canva's library.
4. Arrange, resize, crop, rotate, and edit your elements as you like. You can also change the background color, add filters, adjust the transparency, and apply other effects.
5. When you are happy with your mood board, you can download it in various formats (PNG, JPG, PDF, etc.) or share it online with others.
- PureRef: PureRef is a lightweight and simple desktop application that allows you to create mood boards by dragging and dropping images from your computer or the web onto a digital canvas. You can download PureRef for free from its [official website]. To create a mood board with PureRef, you can follow these steps:
1. Launch PureRef and press **Ctrl + Shift + A** to enable the always on top mode. This will make PureRef stay on top of every window you open.
2. Open the folder with your reference images or go to a website that has images that inspire you (such as Pinterest or Google Images).
3. Drag and drop the images onto the PureRef canvas. The canvas will automatically expand to fit as many images as you want.
4. Arrange, resize, crop, rotate, and edit your images as you like. You can also add notes, labels, arrows, and other annotations to your mood board.
5. When you are done with your mood board, you can save it as a .pur file or export it as an image file (PNG, JPG, BMP, etc.).
