Since last year, there have definitely been some big changes in my life, a few I've already mentioned. But probably the biggest one that I forgot to acknowledge was declaring/changing my major! Since originally transferring to Appalachian, I've known that I want to eventually work as a stylist or fashion editor for a magazine. That doesn't mean I was clear on what major would best lead me to that career. After originally being a Fashion Merchandising and Design minor, I finally made the plunge to become a major! So because I'm a junior, I dove right into all of the classes (lots of pool analogies here). Last semester I took a basic construction class, which then lead to a flat pattern design class for the spring. I'll be the first to admit I am not the best seamstress. My favorite part of the class is actually the 5 designs we have to turn in every week with different inspirations or requirements. I never would have thought I have the creativity to constantly stream completely new ideas for clothing, but these exercises have actually opened my mind to the idea much more recently!
So here are a few from a couple weeks ago. We were asked to draw inspiration from architecture, and being the nerd that I am, I chose the architecture from different cities in Lord of the Rings...
I was nervous to share these, because I am typically not one to shove my drawings in others faces, but since it's your computer I thought it would be alright.
Is there an inspiration you guys find your self constantly using?
