Pretty Nostalgic Mood-board and Flat design .


 Pretty Nostalgic  Mood-board  

After research into the 50s Rockabilly fad , and after finding images of the popular Textile patterns , garments and colours . I created this mood-board .

 On this mood-board i have all of the inspiration i need to start designing , For example ; colour palette , fabric patterns , and annotations with information on how the 50s rockabilly fad came to be .






I want to up-cycle a standard white shirt . So looking at my Mood-board i start flat designing . Using the patterns i see
on my mood-board and adding them to my design . Also cutting off sleeves on some of the designs as i see on my mood-board that non of the female garments have any long sleeves.
Some techniques you can use to up-cycling clothing can include Embellishment (Adding buttons , stitching patterns , studs and other embellishments ) Fabric paint , pleating , gathering or even adding different coloured pockets.
Same again here , more flat designs made by sticking to my mood-board . Note ; you should  always stick to your colour
palette as much as possible .For example my palette for these designs are Red  , Blue , White and Black . Therefore
I haven't moved away from them colours most of the time in these designs besides small exceptions .
