In this class, the teacher first showed us a video about the website WGSN and let us know the basic information of this website and how to use the website to understand some fashion trends. This website is very useful for me, because I often have no direction to find some fashion information. Then the teacher asked us to analyze the theme and atmosphere of a group of pictures and some materials. Our team members were very active and quickly came up with many words to describe them. Analytical ability was the most important step of business courses, although I am not very interested in this major, but this knowledge is still helpful for me. After all, if I want to become a good designer, it is also necessary to know more about fashion trends and analyze fashion ideas.
In the process of making Mood board, my team members and I had some different ideas. We chose a Garden Party. I love all the themes related to nature and colorful things. The pictures I looked for were many different colors. Although the types of pictures that my team members looked for were completely different of mine, However, I found that the whole atmosphere was nice when the pictures were matched together. We also used Pantone Studio, a software recommended by our teacher in the design class, in order to find the colors in the pictures. This application was very convenient for us, so we only spent a little time to complete the selection of colors and fabrics.
In this class, I learned about a new website to find information about fashion, and how to analyze the design concept of some famous brands. Mood Board is also a method to help me find inspiration, and help me to determine the color and theme style more quickly, it can also show my ideas with visual effects clearly.
