This Evening: Moodboarding and Colour Theorizing with ISCD

Tonight, a friend and I went to a fun event hosted by the lovely ladies at the International School of Colour and Design in Sydney. In true hostess style, there was champagne and nibbles. We were spoiled with beautiful vistas of the changing colours of the sunset over the Adelaide Hills (I forgot to take pictures, sorry)!

ISCD were presenting their distance education program for their courses in Colour Design, Interior Design, Interior Styling, Surface Design and Graphic Design. I thought it would be fun to learn about the school and perhaps looking into finally finishing that interior design course I started 8 years ago now! Part of the evening was dedicated to creating a moodboard from the magazines stacked on our tables and I whipped this little guy below which I thought I'd share with you.


Ok it's just a little grubby iPhone picture so you might barely see anything... I had about 30 minutes to flick through a few mags and put this together and I was quite pleased. I managed to squeeze a few of my favorite things in there like kilim fabrics, sisal, moroccan tiles, archways, books (are you surprised?) and even Fornasetti (thank you Inside Out Magazine)!


We also had to choose a few words to integrate in the board that represented our style and I thought this one fitted the bill perfectly . It's now my new mantra: "with creative vision, the most incidental item can be the making of beauty in the home"

Thoughts? Share away! X

  2. Oo that is lovely! Moodboards sort of bewilder me. I mean not moodboards other people make, but the prospect of making one myself, haha. That mantra is fabulous too. Very nice!

  4. Design Vox: Yes moodboards can seem quite daunting but give it a try! Follow the quote and it will look amazing no doubt!

    Jenna: It was. I'm so used to making moodboard on my computer but cutting and pasting them is an entire other thing!
