Workflow of making moodboard 1. included photos and overall vibes of the brand. 2. colour palettes of the brand. 3. typography & fonts 4. packaging reference

[@Ruchita787]

I took the same notes 😂

[@sweetness371]

I've been a graphic designer for 13 years and a senior graphic designer with my company for 6 years and I've gotta say, I just love your videos! They're so inspiring and thoughtful. And even though I've been in this business for a while, they're helpful too! I love seeing your design process. Keep up the great work. Your videos make me excited to go to work each day. I love what we do!

[@TanvirAhmed-dm6tk]

can u show us how to deliver a project to the client?

[@nafimulabir]

So I made moodboards all the time before, and I was not realizing how many mistakes I was making. I was just throwing around some random icons and photos based on some keywords. Love this!

[@abiconnick]

Glad I could help! :)

[@mariamangion21]

I remember seeing your first videos and thinking about how much you have grown as a content creator is so touching 🥰 I love all your videos so much, especially this one, thank you for being such a positive beacon of light 🌸 Can’t wait to watch!

[@abiconnick]

Ahhh thank you so much, this has made my evening! I remember making my first video and thinking it was awful and how bad I was at talking to the camera, now a year later I get so excited about making them!! Definitely still got loads to improve on, but it’s so good seeing how much I’ve grown in the last year! 🧡

Abi should have way more subscribers, she's so motivational to me and helps me understand the steps In the process. Thank you!

My thought is that you actually say what you do and do what you say, which is a rare quality nowadays. Thank you for this simplified tutorial.

[@abiconnick]

Appreciate it, thank you 😊

[@nian6794]

I love your videos so much! im a graphic design student and struggle with my work. Im nearing the end of my college career and had no clue where to start. Your video techniques are helping me build my portfolio!

[@abiconnick]

Thank you!! I’m so glad my videos have been helping you🧡 i felt the exact same after I finished college, so completely get how you feel! X

[@vivianmar7765]

I have no idea what a mood board is. I have joined a course which needs to make a mood board .Thanks for sharing this. Now I know how to do.

I'll say when sending mood boards, loom updates are super handy and helpful for me!

[@abiconnick]

I’ve never used loom! I know friends that have and love it, so I’ll have to check it out!

[@fedrisatrio5981]

It's impressive to see the same pallette represents two different ideas of branding. Both are having their own representative to the market. 1st one is more cheerful, it's light it's energetic, it's happiness but it's cheap (if it's not so than it's just standard). 2 one it's way more deep coz the shady colours are put in all together, creating the impression of bold, calm, masculine one romantic. It's actually exclusive and real expensive as u mention your client wanna make it premium. Somehow I see it more lonely and old- which is coming into 2 framing, it's success and exclusive at the same times narrowing the market of the product. (It's just my opinion) but honestly I love both, if I had to choose one, I'll go for the second one. Thanks

[@abiconnick]

Appreciate the input! Thank you :)

[@ralucagrosu7421]

I like the way you build the mood board and the branding overall. It's so clean, creative and organic! It makes me feel I can do the same with ease (I wish 😬). This is very useful and inspiring for me and I thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and practice with us! 🙌

[@worldstop2337]

was eagerly waiting for this .

[@Charlotte_MDM]

Hi Abi, I absolutly love your videos ! I was wondering if you could do a video explaining how you price any change/modification you client ask for ? As a freelancer, I'm quite lost when a client change his mind a lot and ask for a lot of changes that could be endless and impact your time a lot. Plus, even if I want to anticipate it and say "one change cost that much", one big change could take more time than 10 little changes so it's hard to mesure this and explain it to the client. Thanks a lot for your advices (sorry for the mistakes I'm french ;) )

[@mpdubois3720]

Thank you so much for this! I started rebranding myself and I was starting to gather images for my own moodboard after seeing a few of your videos. I'm really happy that you made an entire video about that.

[@lhycamarquez-orcullo1610]

Your explanation has given me a clear direction/clarification of what to include (must be) in a mood board. This is so helpful! Thank you Abi!

I have never once had a client send me a pinterest mood board. I've always had to do that myself via the questionnaire and client brief...dang...that must be nice!

[@abiconnick]

Ohh I really recommend getting them to put some inspiration together! The main reason I do it is to see the desired design style they’re after. I’m more of a maximalist, vibrant and bold designer so if they’re after something minimal and neutral it gives me a good idea if we will be a good match for one another!
