2.8 | Re-familiarising with Trends


I feel that I have slightly lost sight of what my end goal is. So to re-familiarise myself, I sourced a number of trend books such as View2 and Promostyl, also looking at web based resource, WGSN. It was important for me to revisit these outlets to gain further understanding of how trend resources work. I now feel that I have gained confident knowledge of the different sections a trend resource provides, such as Colour Direction and Fabric Direction pages. This has inspired me to begin to sample layout ideas and to also consider a name for my trend as well as any descriptive paragraphs I want to use within the trend book.




This process has allowed me to reconsider the style in which I have been developing my work, as my illustrations are too considered and not suggestive enough. Also I need to create more content for the trend resource. Although I have created a lot of inspirational imagery for myself, I now need to decide if it will inspire others, and use these elements within the resource whilst keeping a high-end aesthetic. The next step in this unit is to create sample layouts and create more inspirational content.
