hello guys and welcome
to aseelbysketchbook my name is Aseel I'm an interior designer and this is my
first youtube video so guys I would like to have my first youtube video represent
one of the first initial elements in any design interior design or not and that
is a mood board what is good board you might ask? good question well a mood board is
a collection of inspirational images and materials and texts anything that
inspires you to complete a design regardless of the type of the design
that you're doing you can think about a wood board as a tool to help you
visualize the room or the project that you're working on before you do it
illustrate to the client what you have in mind so you can see what they have in
their's and like confirm if they like something or not I'm gonna put it really
quickly here that I used to use Photoshop that's what I'm doing right
now since I have some some load of work on my hand that I use PowerPoint to
create my mood boards which is a little bit unusual we started doing this back
in the day when I was an interior designer an Ikea and I kept going
because it's really efficient and it puts everything together so if you're
presenting something for the client it's already there you can delete an image on
the spot if you would like let me show you inside of my computer like in depth
how to create the mood board using PowerPoint well as you can see guys here
now we are actually inside of my computer I have prepared for you this
example of a layout of a mood board but it's totally up to you how you arrange
the components of the mood board as long as you have all of those things in it
you know so basically we have the main wood image which will set the tone for
the rest of the mood board but it will also set the tone for the final design
and it will connect me to in the final design and the brief so
when for example if you client told you that they wanted an industrial space
with like a hint of tropical what you want to do is look for a picture that
will represent that mood that precise wood for the sake of this project I
found this picture and I thought it was perfect for like an industrial space
with a concrete walls and like a hint of tropical as you can see so to me this is
my main image which I will build on on this mood board now what I want to do is
that I want to enhance the fact that concrete is a main element it sounds
like a very strong presence so I want to enhance that and convey to my client
that I'm gonna be using concrete in their project in their space so
basically what I will try to do is I will go to Pinterest and I'll type in
concrete texture and I will find the best like I don't find the best
presentation for my concrete to me this is perfect so I'll just copy it
obviously you don't want to do this for commercial purposes but yeah and I've
just pasted it on my space my working space here now I like this but I think
it's too bulky so I want to soften it up a little bit so I'm gonna crop it at a
circle you do that by going to picture tools format and crop crop to shape and
finally you select whatever shape you would like you click on crop again and
you can adjust your circle to the preferred size that you would like I
also need to tell you that this canvas that you're working on you can adjust
the size for it this is just the standard size because I honestly I don't
have the need to like run it more than a three and this is totally fine but if
you would like to adjust the size then you just go to design and slide size
custom slide size and you put in whatever dimensions that you want this
to be printed in but anyways going back to that topic I have the concrete as an
element here I like it I'm gonna keep it as it is and I'm gonna copy some other
shapes from a previous work of mine so for now I want to add like a little bit
of metallic texture which is like silver but it's a little bit of like crusty
silver so I would like to use that as a part of my design
so I can see right now that one of the missing elements that I want to enhance
a little bit more to show more is the rat on here so basically I want like a
bench or something anything that shows the texture of that and I've already
went to Pinterest and I found this magnificent chair that like it's perfect
for an industrial space because of the leather I've at the same time because of
their time so I'm gonna copy this image paste it now the best track hold on oh
this is IKEA hello there okay so I basically I'm cropping to get to the
image that I want this is a beautiful chair okay and and I can see that there
is a white background and I don't like that because I like my images to be
perfectly like crop like if I want to add the white background I'll add it to
myself by having like a shape but I don't like this so what can I do about
it because this is not Photoshop but I will teach you how to make it look like
it is photoshopped you can go to after selecting the picture you can go to
picture tools remove background as simple as that
drag your box to just where it where you want it to be and there you go now this
is a perfect example it will not always be like this let's say I have
like a log would just say that that's I have I'll say I have something like okay
let's say I have something like that like this log of wood that I would like
to add here and let's say that I want to add this image but I don't want the
background because I've already put my interest in concrete here so I'm gonna
do the exact same thing I'm gonna remove background now as you can see the shadow
is well off the log of the tree it is there as well
so I want to get rid of it what do I do you can just basically do the same thing
picture tools remove background and mark areas to remove now if I do this it will
remove like the portion where it's darker it can't tell what color needs to
go and mark areas to keep with mark mark areas to keep down you have it there you
have it of course I'm gonna crop it anyways because I just I did that to
show you but I want a little bit of like all I want is like a little bit of
presence for the wood here for the dark wood so I'm gonna do that to keep you
would board dynamic and interesting you need to add elements that are not like
square or like feted within a box per se you have to think how you can make it
more interesting that making each material defined by a shape it will give
it that dynamic touch that it really needs now if we look at this beautiful
chair right here I'm really in love with the chair I'm just looking to where I
can buy it I can see that the colors it's too bright for the vibe that I'm
looking for in this photo so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna show you how to
edit it like you're editing in Photoshop so this is very cool it's very
interesting if you go to again picture tools color and he go to
picture color options you have this entire window where you have the
saturation color tone presets so what I want to do is I want to lessen the
saturation of this so as you can see you've kept that at Tom and use you
would desaturate it which is exactly what I need to to do and now it matches
the wipe of this picture a little bit more except I want to desaturate this
picture a little bit so what I want to do right now is I want to add a color
scheme so how can I do that no not in Photoshop what I need to do is I need to
go to insert and then you go to shapes you pick out rectangle and you just drag
it for as much as you need it now as you can see it's blue and it's that's
totally fine I will cancel out the outline because I don't want an outline
for my shape but I want the shape full with an eyedropper as you can see it's
also in the drawing tools and I can see the most dominant color in this picture
is gray which is like my main key color here and tada
okay another trick here is I want to crop this image like to fill it with in
this border from the YouTube title box and yet I want to keep the gray
background because it will look really cool if I can just like keep the
curvature of the plant with cropping this so what I did is I copied the image
twice and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna remove the background from one of them
and now I have no background for this and now I am going to crop it as you can
see the background remained you can do this in a different way can do it in a
hundred ways but it looks dynamic this is the thing you are thinking outside of
the box literally
and now the only thing that I'm missing right here is basically the keywords of
this image this is how I do it but feel free to put your keywords first I've
already done this yesterday so I'm gonna take my keywords I've just selected
everything by clicking ctrl a and I'm just gonna Center the whole thing so
right now I'm pretty happy with the result this is my end product mood board
just don't believe this and you're going to find this mood board
