What kind of mood are you in?

So I'm a big fan of creating mood boards for projects. I was first introduced to the concept by Joe Duffy when he and his son Joseph came to speak at SCAD while I was there for graduate school. The above picture is from a similar presentation that Joe did for the How Design Conference 09. The following links are some other sources of mood boards and how they can be applied to the design methodology.
