Theme Board

Tear....

No picture for this entry since it is still in development :'( I will be posting it up by next Monday. 

So yesterday (Monday, October 6) was Fashion Design Principles day where we pretty much discuss design and artists and work on our design skills, duh. 

We spent the entire day with our tools and inspiration pieces that we had brought in, and worked on our theme boards. I collected way too many things for my own good and ended up only using about half. This included materials such as fabrics, print outs, plants and broken mirror pieces. 

The theme for my board was Rococco, which I chose because that was just what my inspiration pointed towards. From all the things around me that stood out, the closest match out of all the themes was Rococco. Since I am a huge fan of Marie Antoinette and that whole era, I didn't mind it one bit. 

After presenting and getting to see everyone else's boards I recognized that my board was along the best in the class. Although I will admit it was not the most professional presentation for a design company. After spending 2 years studying Merchandise Marketing I really learned how to put together a professional presentation, and at this point in my life I am ready to just let my creative side flow. 

My board turned out organized yet interesting and really got the point across. 

Once again, I am very sorry for not having a picture of it but it is being looked at closer by my tutors and will be able to get you a picture by Monday next week, so don't cry over it too much. 

I can't wait for next week in FDP, when we're getting the chance to form a garment piece inspired by the look of artist, Dale Chihuly's work, who's inspiration comes from sea life and nature and is then incorporated into his breathtaking glass sculptures. Yay!
