Hey this might be a stupid question but how do you make those cute moodboards? Thanks in advance :)
itâs not silly at all! itâs sort of a two step process. I canât post any photos or do a full tutorial atm bc Iâm not on my laptop but hereâs a summary:
the first one is finding photos, which definitely takes /a lot/ of time (probably more than the editing itself takes). google images, weheartit, instagram, pinterest, tumblr tags are all good places to start (I usually key into google images something like âflowers tumblrâ or 'flowers weheartitâ for the best bet).
if youâre looking for a specific color or size or type of photo, google images has an option for that. itâs just below the search bar. I would round up basically every photo youâre considering putting in there.
I donât happen to have photoshop, so I use pixlr instead. I try to use the same editing process on all the photos so the lighting is the same (you can do this however you want, but again, I can post a tutorial tomorrow if youâre not sure where to start).
if youâre trying to make color schemes match (this isnât completely necessary but itâs what I aim for - but you can even have white and black photos w color ones it doesnât matter), the eye dropper tool is your friend. click a color on photo, and then open a new blank layer so that you donât have to start the whole thing over if you make a mistake.
use the paintbrush tool to go over the areas you want matched more accurately and donât be worried about fine lines. then, on the layer bar, click the icon with the two lines on it and scroll down until you find an option that blends the colors best with the background. when it comes to mood boards, I usually use overlay.
once you have at least 9 photos, you can start rounding them up onto tumblr.
