Vision Board Guidelines

Vision Board

What is a vision board? A vision board is a creative way to express your vision for your short term or long-term future self. It can be a visual representation of your identity, your interests, your passions, goals, career thoughts and is designed to motivate you to be who you are more fully.

Your vision board may include hand drawn, printed or collaged letters/words/images. It will include the following elements:

* Words (one word, phrases, inspiring quotes)

* Images

In order to design a professional piece you must consider:

* Color

* Background (NO WHITE SPACE may be left)

* How you might overlap images or backgrounds

* Texture
