Inspirations from Highschool portfolio

My Name Inspiration:

I am using my closest friends name for each flat and design. This way it is more meaningful.

Friendship is really a huge value for me, therefore this will be a fun way to express my beliefs as well.

Bird Print Inspirations

For my print inspirations, I focused mainly on birds. Whether it was the feathers, the whole figure of the bird or the movement the birds flew, I was definitely inspired. I am focusing on birds and nature as a concept for my prints and placement. 

Color Palette

Color Palette Inspirations: Parrot


For my color palette, I have chosen Parrot as my inspirations. I was intrigued by the diverse bright colors, something I wanted to push myself into. I always stick to neutral colors, mostly based on complimenting black or white. Therefore I wanted to try something new, something overly bright. This however was a tricky decision, because bright colors can come of tacky. But it's something I am willingly to experiment, whether I regret or not. Only this way I can learn, right?

My Final Collection: Decade 20's

This is my final collection for the decade 20's. I feel as if I did better on my edits than the final collection, as I used colors. However that was not the part of assignment, therefore I had to eliminate my colors and stick with just pure white. I struggled a lot with drawing the faces and hair, which is the part I enjoyed the least. I need more practices in those area!

Brainstorming: Color Inspirations

I started of brainstorming with my favorite colors, which are electric blue and sometimes soft pink. However I have learned that creating a customer based color palette, it must be diverse in colors. Therefore there are more varieties of choices for the consumers, in the circumstance if they don't like blue or pink at all.

These are my 40 croquis for the 20's decade. I was inspired by creating a modern powerful woman look, yet with the touch of the fun and joyful aspects of the 20's.
