Yes the day had come to chose the prints. Even though I didn't think we'd be doing it the way we did but whatever!.
So this is how it works:
Step one: Look in the mood board carefully and pick out motifs for making prints.
Step two: combine two or more motifs to make one design.
Step three: Select a repeat for each print.
Motifs and final prints could be made for borders, or any other strategic places. We were asked to use motifs that weren't already used for textures, (which was very difficult). We could enlarge or reduce any of the motifs to play with them.
In total we had to create two prints. Again colours choice as suggested was to be from the main colours.
I did come up with one in the class. Got the whole logic of it. I thought we would have to make prints that would be reminiscent of our theme, rather than pictures from the mood board. But anyway I'm planning to do one my way. I don't like it when themes are used in textures and prints in a very literal manner. There has to depth in what you make rather than copy pasting.
Next class is on Monday. We'll be picking fabrics. I can't believe how fast we're going. And like I mentioned in my rambling post I will be focusing more on my thoughts and going in my own direction.
How do you come p with prints inspired for your collections or designs?
