The colours I chose were from a pastel palette, which would be on trend for S/S18 and would complement the floral element of the design. I wanted to keep it very feminine and soft so it can look harmonious together. I chose white because it contrasts well with black generally and I feel that works for the base of the heart image. Initially I had a more orange colour for the actual bud of the rose but decided to change it because it did not compliment with the other colours and design so I altered it to a pastel pink colour which I feel suits more. The green I felt complimented the pastel pink and white because roses are usually pink or red with green stems. The over lapping of the heart has an art nouveau style at the bottom as it is intertwined which creates a pattern. I have discovered this term my unintentional love for pattern, which is being shown in my work and I’ve started to notice it more. I feel that this is important because as you progress you notice your styles changing and becoming your own. I added a specked effect onto my design to give an element of texture like you would see on vintage style T-shirts. On the right is my final design and below is my final concept board, which was submitted. We were
given the logo from the charity, which had to be placed along with our design.
