While trying to organise my thoughts relating to various creative projects, what I have ended up doing was create a website so that I could have an interactive moodboard that holds all of media that I am inspired by as well as having links to the source material and it looks and feels so very good!

I have always struggled with visual-only moodboarding and concepting because I always want a way to find the source material again or I want to mix and match with different mediums such as playlists, animations, video games, and illustrations all in one specific and easy-to-access location. The tools that I have used previously don't always provide the extensive support for each format I want to reference, and even when they do, the formatting of the tool doesn't work well with me as I find myself fighting the tool's capabilities over enjoying creating and compiling ideas. But website development has allowed that creativity and flexibility I have craved while also allowing me to make it pretty in the process!

I won't be sharing the website for a few reasons:

It isn't hosted online and is only saved to my computer.

It contains other people's work that I do not want to host and reshare without their expressed permission.

It contains project details that I do not want to share until I have made more progress on it.

But if you are like me and struggle with visual-only moodboards or want more customisation when it comes to project planning and presentation, I cannot reccomend enough looking into learning html and creating websites, even if you don't share them!
