Assorting images has always been my crutch to be able to gather my thoughts. Moodboard's aren't just used for design and fashion, often I'll mood board to figure out who I want to be in the next 6 months.
This year there has been a lot of reflection and redirection, being proud of what I've done but knowing I need to dig to find the future Garment & Design Pillars of Milkbar.
While helpin out Dyl (Garden State Journal) out on a film project with styling I realised I work better as a designer when I have a character or individual to fit out. Knowing this completely changed the way I've been developing product designs.
I'm in the process now of making characters for Milkbar to better understand how my garments work. Not sure if I'll ever even use these characters in my marketing, it's just a creative strategy that I'm finding works.
The past month especially I have been deep back on the moodboards mostly to sort out these characters which has led me down different pathways in design.
