Can You Make a Mood Board in Canva?

Last updated on December 4, 2022 @ 6:39 pm

A mood board is a great way to get inspired and stay on track with your project. But what if you don’t have Photoshop or Illustrator? Can you still make a mood board in Canva?

The short answer is yes! Canva is a great alternative for creating mood boards if you don’t have access to Photoshop or Illustrator. With Canva, you can create a mood board in minutes, without any design experience required.

To get started, sign up for a free account at Canva.com. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Create a design” button and select “Mood board” from the list of design options. You’ll be taken to a blank canvas where you can start adding images, text, and colors to create your mood board.

To add images to your mood board, click on the “Uploads” tab in the left-hand sidebar and upload your own images or search for free images from Canva’s library of over 1 million stock photos, illustrations, and icons. Once you’ve found an image you like, simply drag and drop it onto your canvas.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great tool for creating mood boards, but be careful not to overload your board with too many elements. Stick to a few key images that capture the feeling you’re going for, and add in some color and texture swatches to round out your board.

To add text to your mood board, click on the “Text” tab in the left-hand sidebar and select a heading or body text element. You can then type out your text and customize the font, color, and size to match your project.

Finally, to add color to your mood board, click on the “Background” tab in the left-hand sidebar and select a solid color or gradient. You can also upload a background image if you want something more than just a solid color.

Once you’re happy with your mood board, click on the “Download” button in the top-right corner to download it as a PNG or JPG file. You can also share your mood board directly to social media or embed it on your website or blog.

Conclusion:

So there you have it! With Canva, you can easily create a mood board without Photoshop or Illustrator. Just head over to Canva.com, sign up for a free account, and start creating!
