You get 4 Moodboard per day so make sure you choose your favorite briefs to work from!

When creating your artwork, it’s important to stick to the brief. Essentially you’re your own boss here but the briefs are a good way to guide your thinking process and help to prepare you for solving visual tasks in the Concept Art, Illustration and Art based industries.

You won’t always have the freedom to choose what to do, so practice being as creative as possible working with the brief in question.

Some industry based briefs will be more vague than others, if you want a more open brief then simply limit the criteria.
