* Research boards (aka Mood boards) are collections of images of people, locations, and style that you choose to set the general world + mood of the story-these are often mounted on boards and shown during brainstorming sessions but you can do this as digital collections too >>be sure that your imagery is organized into collections, (not randomly put together, or shown as individual images)-these help to convey your ideas/pitch to the class and collectively give a more in-depth sense of world >Below are different examples of Research/Mood Boards see: http://techmoodboards.blogspot.com/ • INSPIRATION-we will look at these in class Wk. 4
