Final Images

So these Three images are the ones I have picked to represent the textile designs I want to create. I was finding it difficult to focus my direction on what i wanted to create, so I thought choosing images would help choose the direction for me. These images inspire me and my fabulous glittery creative brain goes into overdrive in the possibilities of things i could design. They all have a similar colour pallet, but are unique in their own right. Nina Hagen's hair and fashion from the late 70's/early 80's creates a platform in which i can add inspiration from 1980's graphics. The editorial based on Japanese Harajuku fashion gives a fun, cute element with possibilities of cartoon designs. The pineapple image has something i gravitate towards naturally. And that is shiny glittery gems. The composition is very 1980's, and the pineapple itself suggests a tropical tacky vibe. Now i need to start drafting some ideas!

Inspration Board/ Themes

So this is a quick inspiration board of images and eras that inspire my creativity. I have split it up into main categories that influence me the most with design and visual asthetics. This board is the beginning to a set of skirts and t shirts of which i will be designing as a part of my portfolio.
