Styling Board- Eastern Promise

This is my final styling board for my Eastern Promise trend. I used the big image on the right because I feel that it shows a pose that would be taken by a tribal leader, chin high, showing power and poise. The other two are very strong poses, that i imagine would a strong woman of a tribe would take, she would look strong and powerful. I added a colour pallet to show the main colour trend in my photos- most come from the poncho.
I arranged my board in this way to show a big strong image that represents my trend, and the other two reiterate it. I feel that the images work really well together and I'm happy with how they have turned out. I set my styling board out in a clean and simple way so that its easily readable and the trend concept and colour can shine through. If i where to do this again, I would source more outfits and maybe change accessories in each picture. Because even though I did have different outfits and tried them out, I feel that this outfit represents my trend the best.

Examples of tribal women found from Pinterest. I love these images, these women are so strong and inspirational. I wanted my models poses to come across as strong as these women!

Photo shoot finals (Pastel)

These are my chosen images for my Romantic Pastel trend, I will edit them in Photoshop- crop and adjust the colours slightly. I love the jumping poses, they remind me of a GAP advert!!!

Photo shoot finals (Eastern)

These are my chosen images for my Eastern promise trend, I will edit them in Photoshop- crop and rotate them to make sure my model doesn't look like she's tilting to the side. I wont edit the colours, as i like the warm effect the photos already have, but will play around with hue and saturation and curves to see how the photos could look.

Inspiration

I really liked this pose that I found in a shoot in ASOS magazine. I want to try it out for my pastel trend. As I want it to look fun and youthful.

Photoshoot planning

I want my photos to look clean and editorial so I will be using a white background for my shoots. Im going to take a few options for outfits so that I can experiment with different colours and prints. I want the lighting to be sharp so wont shine the light directly on my model but will light the background by turning the lights to the ceiling and letting the light bounce from there back to my model, creating a soft lighting.

ASOS summer magazine

Pastels are featured in ASOS' s summer magazine that I received this morning. A marc jacobs advertisement shows pastel pink jewellery and watches, showing pastels coming in to summer in the way of accessories.  There is also a double paged spread on how to wear pastels- mixing them up with matalics and neon colours. There are 4 different looks for differemt occasions 2 casual and 2 for going out. This tips page is really good for advice on how to wear pastels in a different way, mixing trends up and being a bit more adventurous. The last page on pastels shows a mint green pastel colour mixed with stick on gems and pearls- adding girly glamour to any outfit.

Pastel mood board- final

This is my final mood board for my Pastel trend called 'Romantic pastels'. I decided to call the trend romantic pastels because I feel that the pastel trend has been heavily inspired by the 20's where the pastels where usted and 'romantic'. I was inspired by the boards that I looked up and used the images that I liked from my Pinterest board. I used the pictures to create my colour palette, using some muted colours and mixing them with brighter contemporary ones. I feel that the top 3 images explain my trend easily, the left shows a romantic set all in pastel colours, the second showing a range of pastel colours and the last showing how pastels can be interpreted and used for a contemporary outfit. The rest show how pastels are used in lifestyle and beauty- showing that pastels can be used in many aspects of 'fashion' and lifestyle.

Im very pleased with my board, and feel that you understand the concept straight away, the pictures all contain the same colour palette, making the board flow easily.
