How to Make a Visionary Board

      Arrange your images. Depending on your goal, you may want to group your images into categories, arrange them chronologically, or simply scatter them randomly. Place the images on your board in different configurations until you're satisfied with the overall look. As you arrange the images, discard any that seem out of place on your board.
