Final Boards

My desired customer for my collection is the working girl, city chic who wears colourful bold prints, on simple yet effective cuts. The garments would be smart, casual therefore the materials would have to be comfortable and the cut easy to work in; I think my prints would work well on simply formed garments as they are very busy just as they are. My collection would appeal to the working woman who isn't scared to wear a bit of colour; who likes to express their personality through what what they where. With these ideas in mind, I have created a series of final boards to portray my collection, the ideas behind it and the desired customer. 

Customer Profile Board

Colour Board

My colour board isn't like a typical colour board; including an inspirational image with colours then picked out from it. Instead I thought it would portray the feel and mood of my colour palette better through displaying a selection of key designs from my collection, that really sum up the colours, the mood and patterns within my work. 

Research/ Concept Board

This research/concept board really summarises how I've developed my collection; it includes my own imagery as well as secondary resources, my own work and design influence. I've included a variety of shapes and styles as this is what's relevant to my work. I don't think my collection would have worked as well as it has without a mixture of styles and techniques, therefore portraying this on my concept board was important. 

Illustration/Context Board

Illustration/Context Board

I'm really pleased with my final illustrations; the styling of the garments and models create a great canvas for my prints. I think the hassle at the beginning has made my illustrations even better as it made me think more thoroughly about all aspects of them instead of leaping into producing pointless, unattractive compositions.
