Enhancing Future Driven Design Education Through Moodboards

This manuscript addresses the creation of a set of guidelines for the composition of moodboards as outputs that visualise the research findings from a metadesign process. The guidelines, resulting from company-driven consulting research, intend to aid both the metadesign process and its teaching, understanding its professional and practical application. The exploratory value in moodboards enables design apprentices to develop futures-oriented creative and analytical skills by codifying values and behaviours. Encouraging this discussion might help build a comprehensive theoretical foundation to guide the educational process on the use of moodboards.
