Trend Boards; My favorite past time, aside from writing of course. This mood board in particular is for a project I did for an interior  home goods company. It was created in order to brainstorm about rug designs.  Organizing your thoughts in this way,  and using this method, is the most fun. The very act of gathering information in order to create a mood board gives almost all the senses a rush. First you gather the imagery, then you recognize the colors they have in common. After you create you color palette you should then get a feel for what you see and grab from pop culture or social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram(don’t use pics without permission unless as an educational tool).  After positioning the finds in an attractive way, Voila! a Mood Board is born! There is no set way to do these boards, but one thing is for sure, they have to be easy to understand and visually motivating.  As a fashion writer, I’m able to write about clothing without even physically holding it. I understand fabric, and have become very familiar with various textures and intricate details. The key to writing about fashion is to not just use your eyes, but all of your senses, if possible and write with passion. It helps to really love what you’re writing about too.  This project I did for rug design gave me the opportunity  to write about another creative medium…Interior design. Fashion and Interior Design in my opinion go hand in hand. I strongly believe that if you can design a clothing collection, you could probably design the interior of a room too. Can I write about interior design?….I’m the Quirky Bombshell, I most certainly can… And will!
