Designers, a client is buying into your taste, not just your ability to execute.
This project was about extending an existing brand into a new tech product, without losing the visual DNA that already made it distinctive.
The moodboard became part of the sell: proof that I understood the brand, but also that my own aesthetic judgment was refined enough to carry that legacy forward.
I can’t share the full moodboard yet as the project is not public, but this part of the process reflected an important part of my design philosophy. And I wanted to share it with you.
Because, that’s what I believe moodboards really do in design bussiness. They make taste visible, and show what to preserve, what to evolve, and how far to push.
As execution becomes faster, taste and creative judgment only become more valuable.
The idea of making taste visible through the moodboard really lands here—the restrained type and orange mark feel like a clear bridge between legacy and future. I especially like how the motion piece turns that visual DNA into a living system.
I have a big surprise for you. "I am going to edit 2 reels for the first 2 clients for free".
BUT WHY?
So, I was in the learning phase of Motion Graphics, Color Design, and Sound Design, and was editing raw ElevenLabs audio. Now I want to work with clients to make myself industry-ready.
Good luck Chirag!
But I would suggest you to edit your showreel, a SaaS launch video, a brand/ad film with the available footage or free stock videos. It will eventually make you better and the clients might get to know your quality. Just an personal opinion, still like your spirit👍
