Not only is Jotun‘s Color Universes for 2020 your most viewed article, but this mood board below is also the most repinned image though we show more a few more color mood boards. I believe the title of the color line Meditative state of mind helps too; 2020 has been the year of (more)e self-care. In a survey, 80% of Americans said they’d like to regularly practice more self-care after the pandemic. Healthy food, rituals, and exercising are just a few ways of taking care of; a calming color universe in our homes plays a big deal in influencing mood and rest.

3// How To Create A Mood Board As A Business Tool – Ecourse

 

Still, three years in a row, this page is in the Top 5, and I couldn’t be happier. In 2020, I published a new online course after having had a basic format on the market for a few years. The new program’s production for mood board pros was rather long since we translated the one-day masterclass held in Barcelona into an extensive online format for all those who can’t attend. I am thrilled to see all your interest and hope to complement the teachings in 2021 with on-site courses again in the second semester.

Meanwhile, if you’re interested in learning more about the program, have a look here.
