1. Cerebral Synergy
The idea behind this board is the integral connection between our mind and our senses; what we think vs. what we know. It deals with the truth that our perception is distorted and depends heavily on one's subjective reality.
I wanted to emphasize texture & highlight fabrics & finishes with universal appeal. Specifically the ones that make us want to reach out and touch them; just to feel them would satiate this desire to know more about the garment. It's in the desire to engage with physically what our mind can't quite grasp mentally that fuels innovation.
2. Art Nouveau Revisited
"New Art" seems very appropriate for this timeless movement. Coming at the height of " the cult of beauty" age in the late 1890's to early 1910's, it is one of the last decades that we see the omnipotent luxury & class distinction that made this era's fashion notorious. Small remnants were distributed within art deco into the the 1920's & 1930's as well.
Art Nouveau- with it's recognizable empire waists, dragon-fly & spiral motifs, and intricate stain-glass windows- seems to be widely revised today without diluting it's pure & youthful energy.
There are so many interesting textures and patterns on your boards! You are right about the tactical element to your photos.
ReplyDeleteCerebral synergy is a clever board- I especially love whatever is shattered on the right paired with the red fabric manipulation. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love your second board! The background is beautiful! Your color choices and images really fit well together! Great job!
ReplyDeleteBoth boards are well thought out and interesting. My pic is the Art Nouveau Revisited -- it has so much shape and imagery to look pull from, it will certainly inspire interesting fashion.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Cerebral Synergy board. I like the who concept behind it and your images are very interesting. I'm fascinated by the black sheer top, very cool!
ReplyDeleteConceptually I love the Cerebral Synergy board. Its something I never would have thought of. I am such a sucker for Art Nouveau, though. I love how the layout of the board sort of mimics the design layouts of Art Nouveau works.
ReplyDeleteThanks! i'm glad you noticed
Deletei am in love with your storyboards. they are so different, but the go together. i can tell they both came from you. some story boards seem a little disjointed, but yours really flow, i like them a lot
ReplyDeleteas a fan of anatomy cerebral synergy really spoke to me! it reminds me of looking at the textbook and being inspired by the dead folks. as for the art nouveau board, i love how it feels dreamy but still has a heaviness and a darkness that makes it surreal.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired by the images you chose. I am particularly fond of the Art Nouveau Revisited. I love the textures and earth tones used on this board. Can't wait to see your flats.
ReplyDeleteI really like your storyboards, they're so bright and energetic.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in Art Nouveau Revisited! I really think you captured the "pure and youthful energy" through the images you chose.
ReplyDeleteCerebral Synergy is my favorite. I love the textures and the colors, well they suit me more than the art nouveau :)
ReplyDeleteI like both of your boards, they both have enough depth to them, I would like to see them both transformed into lines
ReplyDeleteI really like the Art Nouveau board. The background picture is really good and clear. Both of your boards are well organized and it is obvious you have a clear vision for both trends.
ReplyDeleteI love love love the Cerebral Synergy board and all the pictures on it. The black dress with the delicate lace work (? i guess) is very inspiring and I want to figure out how it is done. The burst of orange in your color story makes it very interesting and creates a focal point. The Art Nouveau board is interesting as well and the color story is pretty fantastic
