The purpose of brainstorms and mood boards are that the brainstorms keep everything organised and all linked to one main idea. That could be helpful as of how it would be easy to understand with there being the option of thorough knowledge and explanation of what the main topic is about and would help give the viewer a clear image of what is wanted in that specific topic.
Some purposes of a mood board is that it is made to create a collection of information/images to display one or more main ideas to help some viewer have a good understanding of a topic. A good purpose of a mood board compared to a brainstorm is that a mood board may be easier for the younger ages to understand as many people at a young age are visual learners, meaning that they would be able to tell what the mood boards about. However a mood board doesn’t have as much freedom to give off as much information as you can in a brainstorm.
