In Progress - Mood Board

So I've been assigned a "mood board" project. I'm trying to approach the project as things that inspire me, which is what the assignment is. I find this project particularly challenging due to the nature of objects expected to be included, however.

I'm supposed to include: type faces, color, textures, pattern, shapes and objects/images. I can easily do images, possibly shapes, but due to the nature of what inspires me the remainder of the objects are difficult to find.

I enjoy deep thoughts, complex ideas, those don't have design elements besides how I create them. I am inspired by shapes, colors and textures that have been applied.  It feels as though I'm being asked to express what inspires me, while being handicapped from expressing what it is.

Type faces are not particularly interesting, I've found a few that are interesting, but I cannot say that I've ever been inspired by them.  Similarly, textures are an aspect that I see more as filler ideas. Ideas that round out a larger more complete idea.

As for shapes I included a few art deco, art nouveau, pieces I like.

Might be a hunt for inspiration...
