First Design Project.

For our first design project we were very free to choose almost any inspiration we pleased. This project was handed out just before Steve Schiavello and I attended Nuit Blanche downtown Toronto with some friends. I drew inspiration from the city at night and the creative mood of the event, and I found an interesting color scheme in the photos I took. I had forgotten my sketchbook and when I got home from the late night event I was up another couple of hours frantically sketching and jotting down notes before they escaped my mind. 

For the project we needed a "Mood Board" which contains color chips, fabric swatches, and our inspiration, accompanied by a "Design Board" which contains our 5 top designs. My project was received very well and along with a few of my peers' projects, was chosen to go on display. For the display my professor required a third and smaller board with examples of fabric drapings that contributed to our creative process.

Here's what went on display....
