GRAPHICS

ROARING TWENTIES

The goal of this exercise was to create a repeating pattern using Adobe Illustrator. Our concept could be anything we wanted. Therefore, I chose a time when societal shifts meant new opportunities for women.

The nineteen twenties were an era full of jazz, speakeasies, and of course, fashion. Women, also known as “flappers”, were at last able to put more pep into their steps by working, voting, and above all else, dressing more risqué. Their jewelry and diamonds were show-stoppers with pearls dangling from neck to neck. It was truly the time to be alive.

Sketches

Swingin Mint showcases two pastel colors intertwined with strokes of black. The use of pastels became very popular during the 1920s and as a result, they were commonly debuted in womens clothing pieces.

LadyJewel showcases blue and purple intertwined with strokes of black. These colors were used very frequently for makeupwhich was still a new concept at the time. Previous to the 1920s fashion revolution, makeup was only used by floozies and stage performers - due to its scandalous reputation that society once gave it.

DiamondDaisy showcases muted colors intertwined with strokes of black. These tones were also very popular during the 1920salongside pastels - resulting in a daily display through womenswear.

SweetCheek showcases several bright pastel colors intertwined with strokes of black. This colorway represents an overall liveliness and amusement of the erawhen prohibition laws were enforced and speakeasies emerged.

MIND FULL MAYHEM OF

Mind

Full of Mayhem is an athleisure brand dedicated to making women feel less alone throughout their mental health journey.

Everyone’s mind is full of mayhem, some more than others. But, the twenty-first century has ignited a fire under the act of being mindful. Our brand name is a play on words for the term, mindful, which is an act of mentally staying in the moment, rather than allowing your mind to run rampant with thoughts - good, bad, anxious, happy, obsessive, angry, excited, depleted, you name it - leading to a mind full of mayhem.

Therefore, our goal is to create athleisure clothing for the every day you - mind full and all - in hopes that our designs will assist in making your days brighter and your thoughts lighter, no matter how bleak they began.

The brands’ vision is to create classy and refined ensembles for the every day “mind full” lady, while adhering to athleisure comfort.

The current clothing selection includes an athleisure sweat set, a long jacket, and an attachable hood, sold separately, to compliment the long jacket - all catering to the feminine figure. Each article of clothing comes in six colorways - as shown in our Calm Before the Storm Color Palette.

The brands’ values include manufacturing all products humanely within the USA using materials of stellar quality. We also aim to raise ongoing awareness of mental health in today’s ever-changing society through collaborative marketing and donations.

The Drum Circle is designed for the intent of communicating ones feelings through music. Its outdoor setting is significant because nature is known to improve health and mood. During these Drum Circle sessions, guests who sign up are each given a Djembe Drum to play. A therapist running the session guides guests by allowing each participant to create a rhythm that represents their current emotions. Once everyone else in the group learns the rhythm, the guests collectively play it as a way of signifying that the individual who created it is supported. Throughout each session, there are other drum exercises, as well as a speaking component.
