MOOD BOARD - FOR FINAL PROJECT



FASHION CONCEPT MOOD BOARD

The presentation must be strongly themed, capturing the mood in a nut shell and should always be accompanied by a title. This can be determined by the fabrics: Natural Linens, the season: Summer Blues, or the merchandise: Metamorphosis… 

Cut out pictures that inspired you. Use anything you can find from magazines, your pc or mac, tissue paper, feathers, foil, string, fabric etc., books (not just fashion), your own photographs and collect fabric and paint swatches. But DONT go overboard, this can look messy.





Get ready for some preppy southern charm…today is the official launch day for Lattice and Ivy and I am so excited to finally share this project with you guys.  I hopped on board with their team in early summer and am so pumped to have been a part of creating this colorful new brand.  Lattice and Ivy is a new company targeted towards the fashionable female entrepreneur and pays top commissions on personalized, stylish, fun products you love.   I worked with the Lattice and Ivy creative team to design a clean, modern, colorful logo that embodied their trendy products and overall essence of their brand.  The logo element that we created using a subtle combination of the “l” and the ‘i” made for a lovely pattern…so much so that they decided to use it on some of their product line {see the awesome monogramed coaster image below}!  We kicked off this project by developing a Pinterest inspiration board and it all snowballed from there.  Below is a little recap the process and how it all came together.  Be sure to check them out!
