For your first assignment, you are to visualize and articulate the type of fashion/garments you aspire to create through the creation of a Designer Mood Board. You will present your Designer Mood Board in front of the class. Be ready to communicate your Board. You can use Canva or a graphic design tool of your choice. You can upload your assignment below in the form of a photo, PDF file, or document.
Here are a few questions to help you get started on this assignment:
- What do I want my fashion journey to look like in the next 3 years? Do I see fashion as a creative hobby or a career?
- What kind of designer (or creative professional) do I aspire to be?
- What colors, textures, or silhouettes make me feel most me?
- Who or what inspires me outside of fashion (art, music, culture, people)?
- What words or themes best describe my personal style?
- What part of my personal story or background shows up in my style?
- How do I want others to feel when they see my designs?
- What types of fashion internships am I interested in?
- If I could collaborate with anyone in the world, who would it be and why?
- Are there specific issues or causes I hope to address through my work?
- Are there any areas of fashion design I am particularly interested in mastering?
