A common question I get from clients before their project timeline even begins is: What on earth do I add to my Pinterest mood board for my brand and website?
The short answer: ANYTHING that sparks joy (in Marie Kondo fashion).
The long answer: let me share my best tips on what to pin with links to my own boards and group boards packed with endless inspo!
1 | COLOR
Start with pinning color swatches, color palettes, mood boards, and images with colors that resonate with you and your brand.

2 | TYPOGRAPHY
Pin font pairings you like in logo designs, quotes, and websites. You’ll be surprised just how often you’ll see a common theme of what you like without even knowing it beforehand.

Try to find a variety of logos with layouts and font pairings that you find appealing. Look for a horizontal layout, a stacked layout, and a shape or icon layout.

Last but not least, pin some websites. This will help you determine what layout you prefer and the level of simplicity or complexity of the design you desire.
