My client called my design derivative after I leaned too hard on mood boards.

Some say mood boards spark creativity, others argue they kill original thought. What's your view on using design inspo?

How do you find the right balance with mood boards? I've totally been there, my client once said my design was just a copy of my inspo.

Mood boards work best when you pick one small thing from each image instead of the whole look. Like maybe you take the texture from one photo and the spacing from another layout. That way you're building something new instead of just remaking a single reference.
