How To Create A Mood Board That Works As A Business Tool
The complete online course that helps to set up a mood board that looks great, transmits a clear message, and sells your project.
Are you looking for an e-course that shows you how to mood board with intention and strategy so you gain focus in any creative process and can offer a more memorable experience to your clients when presenting a project?
You know we are entering a decade where more empathic dialogues need to be created. A haptic mood board offers a different kind of discussion presenting a sensorial experience, and you'd like to learn a methodology.
We all live in a moment of digital over-stimulation and need tools to get to conclusions we (and our clients) can visualize. You get stuck in making decisions during creative processes and look for
techniques to step into action.
You are already moodboarding, the technique is not new to you, but it comes from a perspective of intuition, and you would like to improve your skills with some more strategy.
You are looking for ways to stand out on a competitive market and go that extra mile
your audience will acknowledge and
appreciate.
A haptic mood board is an activator, communicator, and solution-driven business tool that helps you and your clients to pre-visualize creative processes.

About
"This is the course I was looking for five years ago."
Gudy Herder is the founder of the trend agency Eclectic Trends.
Structuring of concepts is the backbone of any trend research, and the most used tool to gain clarity on a trend story is a haptic mood abord.
In 2015, Gudy was invited to present moods board at a trend agency in London. And though she had been moodboarding for two decades already, she felt like wanting to improve her skills and find a more academic background for that presentation.
It came as a surprise that there was anything on the market that suited her needs. Mood boards had helped her, the team, and clients to gain clarity for years, so she decided to share her knowledge and design the first 4-hours workshop program.
This program has evolved into a business program where students from all over the world fly in to spend one day in Barcelona.
How To Create A Mood Board As A Business Course That Helps To Sell is now a translation of the offline masterclass, and it comes with a few extra lessons.
The same and similar content has been taught to creative teams at IKEA, Grohe, Cosentino, and the European Design Institute, among others. Inditex, Mango, or Akzo Nobel are a few brands that send their teams to learn this technique, too.

Yes, there is a quite some difference.
The starter course covers first steps, it is a great basic course, all you need to consider is that it was produced in 2015.

If you however feel that a shorter first kick-off is all you need, then the starter course is fine.
