The short version

Create or open a design in Canvas, then build the moodboard with reference images, products, colors, and text. Arrange the pieces on the canvas and share the finished direction from the design.

A moodboard is an open canvas where you collect and arrange visual references to set a direction. You build it in Canvas, then share it the same way you share a lookbook.

Start a moodboard

  1. Open a design. Create a design in Canvas or open an existing one.
  2. Add references. Add images, products, colors, and text to the design.
  3. Arrange the moodboard. Move, resize, and group the pieces to build the direction.

Share it

When the moodboard says what you want it to say, share it with a client as a link. See How do I share a moodboard with a client?.

Tip

A moodboard and a lookbook are both built in Canvas from your library. Reach for a moodboard early to agree a direction, and a lookbook later to present specific pieces.
