Design between the Lines

This week we discussed a lot about fashion, but what interested me the most were the meanings behind the lines, spaces and the shapes that we use for designing. They are symbols that we can use either to conceal or enhance some body parts thus creating optical illusions. I realized that when we choor style or fashion, these our clothing, we don't only showcase oure are messages that we can also convey using the patterns or designs of the clothes we wear.

The difference between form and style also became clearer to me after the discussion. Knowing these elements of design will help all of us to determine what will work for us and we will be able to use them more effectively. We had a rundown of what we will be learning about patterns, color perception and other design principles, I'm so excited to apply what we've learned.

It's also great to get tips for getting inspiration and it's encouraging to know that there is no limit to our imagination. We just have to translate them to our designs.
