For every collection and theme presented within a portfolio an introduction is needed. This introduction gives the viewer insight of your inspirations, ideas and style. The introductory page should include a collage of elements representing your theme and its purpose; this collage is called a mood board. Mood boards can include a wide range of elements, varying from clothing all away to famous architecture; anything that is capable of inspiring your art work is worth applying.
In my case, I decided to construct a mood board entirely related to the Peruvian culture. The way I designed this mood board was by researching traditions, wardrobes and the Peruvian atmosphere in general.
This mood board will serve as a guide to the person evaluating my sketches, being able to go back and compare the elements in my collage to my actual art work.
