Building boards for textile and surface design is an essential step in the creative process, allowing designers to curate and visualize their concepts. While in school, we learn to build these boards with tools such as Photoshop, Pinterest, WGSN, and Fashion Snoops. Photoshop enables designers to manipulate and refine designs, while Pinterest serves as a vast visual resource for trend inspiration. WGSN and Fashion Snoops provide in-depth insights into emerging trends, color forecasts, and material innovations. Together, these tools help designers create compelling mood boards that resonate with current and future market trends.
