These visuals are filled with ideas to spark your creativity — showing how to present and layout your moodboards and sketches, inspired by the seven elements of materials:
📄 Paper | 🔌 Electronics | 🪩 Objects | ♻️ Plastics | ⚙️ Metal | 🧵 Textiles | 🍊 Nature

Each example combines moodboard inspiration with sketching techniques — from collage and fineliner to digital and marker work — helping you bring your final design to life.

As we enter November, it’s time to have your moodboard ideas and sketches ready as we move into the next stage: gathering materials and experimenting with new techniques.
