Choose a template by the decision, not the decoration

A template is a starting hierarchy, not a finished visual style. Compare the decision and evidence notes before choosing. Replace every placeholder with material that supports your project, and use mood board layout principles when the strongest reference deserves more or less emphasis.

Keep source links while collecting. For interiors, products, print, fashion, and events, use the field-specific mood board guidance to identify the evidence your project needs, then validate important colors, dimensions, materials, costs, and availability outside the board. Use the board size calculator before preparing a presentation or print version.
