Moodboard
To create the visual moodboard for this project, I embarked on a comprehensive exploration of various design elements, aesthetics, and visual inspirations. I began by conducting thorough research on the target audience, their preferences, and the trends in the NFT marketplace industry. This research served as a foundation for understanding the visual language that would resonate with our audience.
Next, I collected a wide range of visual references, including art pieces, color palettes, typography styles, and UI elements from both within and outside the NFT space. This diverse collection allowed me to extract key elements and identify common themes that evoked the desired emotions and conveyed the essence of Moon's brand vision.
Using design tools such as mood board creation platforms, graphic editing software, or even traditional methods like collaging, I carefully curated and arranged these visual references into a cohesive moodboard. I aimed to capture the fusion of innovation, creativity, and sophistication that Moon sought to bring to the NFT marketplace.
The moodboard served as a visual anchor and a source of inspiration throughout the design process. It provided a reference point for making design decisions, ensuring consistency, and aligning the visual elements with Moon's brand identity. The moodboard became a visual guidepost, helping to refine the overall aesthetic and ensuring that the subsequent design iterations remained faithful to the envisioned experience.
By utilizing the visual moodboard, I was able to effectively communicate and align the design direction with the client, establishing a shared understanding of the desired visual language for the NFT marketplace app. The moodboard played a crucial role in guiding subsequent design decisions and creating a visually compelling and captivating user experience that resonates with the target audience.
