The Brief

For this exercise I continued on from the previous exercise “Turning words into pictures” and carried on with the word Fashion. In the previous exercise I based most of my drawings on the Moschino Barbie collection and for this exercise I did the same exactly the same but in the form of a moodboard with printed images and photographs.

I did something very similar for when I turned 36 in July just gone, I created a photographic montage of all things Pink and girly for my Instagram post:

It is very rare when I am designing anything that I create a full moodboard of images, textures, colours etc for my OCA work.

When I am in my job at work and I have to present my ideas to my team I will put together a presentation with a range of typefaces and colour swatches and anything that might have influenced my ideas for the design. For example I had to brand our college race car and I used a moodboard of colours and patterns to show my team what influenced my decision for the final design I chose to go with for the car.

This was the moodpboard I created:

I usually use Pinterest to save and record all images that inspire me and help me to create ideas for all of my designs. Pinterest is so easy to find images and save them for reference all organised in their own folders for me to refer back to at any time I wish.

Here are some of my organised folders for some of my projects!

Here is the moodboard I created for this exercise:

It is a mix of print outs and magazine clippings. When I think of fashion and the Moschino Barbie range I think of LA, Beverly Hills and Hollywood – the ultimate glitz and glam!
