There's a bunch of tools out there that do this. They're called "nesting tools". I use nestingcenter.com. It's great!

Mood boards save time.
It’s easier to react to references than to finished layouts.
Argue about vibes early — not after files are already built.

Mood boards aren’t just Pinterest collages.
They’re visual alignment tools that help everyone agree on vibe before production starts.
If you skip this step, you’re designing blind.
