I would love to say that there’s a deep and meaningful message to my July mood board. The truth? I just wanted something a little different! I changed up the monochrome mindset that I had, and opted for a black and white checkerboard background to contrast with the stark red images I wanted to use for the month. Two bold message of this board are that better days are coming, and to make yourself a priority.
Let’s not forget to take a moment to acknowledge the Guy Fawkes mask in the top left corner. If you know me, you know that V For Vendetta is one of my favorite movies ever. While most of the imagery is plain and simple, the message behind the board is what is important. I have to say that the month of July has been filled with some exiting news. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably do, and already know what I’m hinting at. I really want to save an “official” announcement for the dedicated blog post it deserves. The long and short of it is that my friend Michelle and I have started a new business and creative endeavor; we’ve decided to merge our minds, talents and strengths, thus creating The Blank Creative. So indeed, July has been a very self-reflective, self-focused month, without trying to sound selfish (lol). We were presented with an incredible client opportunity, which has propelled us to launch a little earlier than planned. But it’s totally worth it, and I cannot wait to share that part of my journey with you as well!
Anyway, back to the mood board—or at least the message behind it—even though July is over (I know, I’m getting really bad at posting my mood boards in a timely manner but HELLO! It’s been a little hectic lol!) it’s never too late to prioritize yourself and your dreams! I promise this blog will not take a back seat any longer! After all, this month, According To Christina turns one year old! As always, if you want to see how I made this mood board, you can watch the Instagram Reel here!
