Collect Without Judgement
Start by gathering a wide range of visual references, even if they seem unrelated at first glance.
Define the Core Concept
Identify the recurring themes, colors, and moods. This becomes your creative north star.
Translate Mood to Structure
Build wireframes or layout sketches that reflect your chosen vibe while solving real user needs.
