1. Find a frame displaying a picture you are kind of tired of and empty the frame.
2. Pull out all the magazines and catalogs you can find (Urban Outfitters and H&M Have some editorial-like images.
3. Flip through the pages, find interesting wording, poses, designs, images.
4. Cut out the images and begin placing them in the frame.
5. Last tips:
+ Fill in the gaps with scraps of bright colored paper.
+ The paper cutter I use is amazing... I've had it since freshmen year of high school. Here's a good one I found on Amazon in case you are in the market for a paper cutter Click Here.
6. Find somewhere to hang up the frame so it doesn't have to sit on the floor like mine had to.
And, what do you do with these? Are they just to keep the important stuff in your line of sight?
ReplyDeleteInteresting as it was, this post seems to have drifted away from your blog's conceptual center.
Well, a main part of keeping up with this industry is to watch what the veteran and up and coming designers are doing, read magazines, and keep up with fashion news. I think of it as an industry built off of a passion for well, fashion. Sometimes I think I get swept up by all of the learning, and less of the being inspired by the art created by this industry because everything is online or there is little time to read, and I can click/flip through it so quickly. By stopping and creating something myself, even if it is a remix type project, I remember why I have a passion for it all in the first place.
