PSA: My Pinterest board from 2016 is a time capsule of bad design choices
Back then, I would just save anything with a cool font or bright color, no real plan. My 'inspiration' folder was just a huge mess of 500+ random images. After a freelance project fell apart last fall because my mood board was all over the place, I started organizing by color palette and project type instead. Now I use a tool called Milanote to keep things sorted, and it actually helps me finish work. How do you guys keep your visual references from turning into a digital junk drawer?

Wait, youre telling me you just rawdogged 500 images into one folder with no tags or subcategories? That gives me anxiety just thinking about it. My jaw literally dropped when you said you used to save things just cause they had a cool font, thats like marrying someone for their shoes. I once tried to find ONE specific color palette in a folder like that and almost threw my laptop out the window. You must have the patience of a saint to have untangled that mess.
