I also believe that mood boards are a significant and creative method and will have 70 of my 2nd year Industrial Design undergraduate students producing them next week to support the design of a consumer product. But in the context of the aim and scope of the PhD on which CoLab was based, mood boards fall outside of sketches, drawings, models and prototypes that were the driver for the taxonomy.
Thanks

Subject: Re: Industrial Designers versus Engineering Designers
Thank you for you fast response. I do believe that research in industrial
design consider sketches as the prior representation of a product.
Moodboards are a design act in the way that they enable emotional
assessment (for instance) and permit a simulation of the future user/object
relationship. I disagree with the fact that the gathering and processing of
inspirational data is not considered as a design action. In my opinion the
early design phases have a great impact on the final design and must be
seriously considered.
However I do appreciate the ontology on intermediate representation that you
have proposed.
