(today)
Finally! We have reached the topic I have been waiting for three years and I am not exaggerating. Three years ago I found out that I have been accepted at the University of the Philippines Extension Program in Pampanga for BS Business Management, a course that I knew will be useful but was not what I initially wanted. So in the attempts to hone my design skills and not loose it amidst the Business Management studies I was going to have, I bought a book entitled "200 Projects: to get you into Fashion Design" by Tracy fitzgerald and Adrian Gandon. Among its projects was to create a mood board. It was one my favorite projects but it was difficult to do. I knew I needed help or rather a lesson beyond what the book was telling me.
Last week, I had finally been thought of what I was searching for. Studying color & texture; and applying it to mood boards is such a significant design process. It gives our design clarity and substance. It also shows as the importance of presenting and getting ones idea across. More and more everyday I feel more of a designer and less of an amateur sketcher with the lessons we have been studying specially this one.
