HOW TO MAKE A MOOD/AESTHEIC BOARD ;

I'm gonna try my best to give some mood board tips. Bear with me. I'm very picky when it comes to the placing and the pictures. You don't have to be the same, as long as you like it then go for it!

STEP ONE) WE HEART IT IS LITERALLY GOING TO BE YOUR BESTFRIEND WHILE MAKING MOOD BOARDS. I'm not joking. If you type in "blah blah theme" it will show you the color you want and the order of the color. Idk if that just made senses. Like the type of blue in one section ¿ anywhore I get all my pictures from there whether it's for covers or for icons. We heart it is a blessing.

STEP TWO) go to PicsArt and go to the collage tab. I'm going to show you how to do the basic mood board that pretty much everyone knows how to do. Pick this template and add your photos. Zoom in and out to adjust your pictures. Okay here's my BIGGEST pet peeve that I try to avoid and sometimes I just can't. So let say your doing a motion triply mood. Try not to put a light picture next to a dark one. Your mood should be able to flow and go smoothly. It happens and really there's nothing much to do. I did that thing as djjsjsjsjsnsns it bothers the heck out of me. You can always erase away the light or dark from the pictures before hand though. Save when done.

STEP THREE) your other bestfriend is Polarr. I will never stop hyping this app. Literally will help you so much while doing this. Find a filter that would go good with your board. Use the HSL tab to fix and color things and the light tab to adjust. Then your done.

If your wondering g whose she is^^ her name is Enya and she's a YouTube. Literally my baby mamma.

TWO PEOPLE MOOD ;

I like to do this for books because idk it's just a little touch/sneak peek into the story.

STEP ONE) gather your four pictures. I would suggest a manip for this but sadly I suck at them and don't have the patience. I do highly suggest checking out COLBERINE cover book tips. She has a chapter on manips and aesthetics. Katherine is literally the queen of manips.

STEP TWO) pick the collage with the four squares. Put on of your face claims on one side and the other on the other side. Save when done.

STEP THREE) go to Polarr and add your filter and what not.

STEP FOUR) now go to Phonto and add either your title of the book or a quote. The lines on the board where taught to me by Katherine who teaches you how to do that in her aesthetic chapter. Save when done.

These boards are really fun to do and they kinda put your mind to work. Here is some I just completed. You can add textures and all that jazz too!

( my favorite one is the Andy Biersack one that is on the bottom left. My husband is so talented and so beautiful. I don't know how God hand crafted him. A literally angel everyone. Wow. He's honestly the love of my life.

I hope this was useful. Sorry it sounds so stupid and weird. I'm so tired and I feel sick so yayyyyyy. Fun. Great. Amazing. )
