Before you start on any detailed design work you must create a moodboard. This is where you communicate your initial design ideas for your game. You should use it to get feedback from your game testers.

The moodboard should include inspirational materials/images for:

• the game genre and style
• settings/environments
• any original characters
• any music, sound effects or speech
• anything else you think is important

You should annotate your moodboard to explain your ideas.
