A mood board is that surface you drop a whole bunch of images and materials on that essentially give the feel and description of what you're designing. A collage of sorts.
The old school way was to put stuff on a foam core board and schlepp it around to client meetings, etc...
Then came Pinterest. There are actual apps meant to create the mood board digitally such as Morpholio.
Recently I have been playing around with GIFs and realized, a GIF can be a different type of mood board. The mood is images over time, but the affect in essence is the same, or at least in theory. Below is my stab at making a Brutalist Concrete Interior Sexy with a White Shag couch...Cheery Brutalism is coming back!
Let's try this with a real project, something a little more serious that would actually end up on a mood board (granted above could - and that client would be awesome!)
So here is a test mood gifboard of a real project -
Would appreciate input from the experts?
Should it be slower?
Did you get a feel for the bathroom?
Is it the equivalent of a real mood board?
Thanks

Boredom as a result of too much to do. Too much professional practice architecture. Too much reality. Lots of fiction and lots of history.

Slower and more spatial. The elements were too disparate.
I may steal this for other applications. I'll keep you posted.
What's the building in the first one? Love those rounded corners, feels like you're inside a train!
I think a mood gif could really work, the top one works best I think because there's one still background, or at least the size of the background could be the same with each change. Otherwise you have a change of background size and a change of front image, two changes with one "slide" 's a bit much perhaps. But I like the application of a gif. My GF once sent a .gif as her application for a job and it really worked...
Thanks, will check it out.
Def slower, but I like it. And I recognize a bunch of that stuff! Add a little music too?
Some architect once told me architecture is a performance piece...
Why such deep joints in the shower tiles? That just seems like unnecessary maintenance. Also, more abominable snowman.

Agreed. I was thinking more about the space that are suggested. The two techniques could pair nicely
A friend of mine, an architect of course because I have no other friends, made a drawing and recorded himself doing it and sped it up. It was great and made me think of this. Imagine showing a client a time-lapse video of their project's creation. Some would love it, especially if a hand drawn rendering.
I had forgotten about these. I made them in the summer, juxtaposing cakewalks over Serlio's drawings for stage sets.

technically? I never gave them a name. They're "just" agitations.
Finally Serlio's drawings put to good use.
