Evaluation

Overall I am very happy with my two trend boards, I liked the fact that there wasn't many pictures on my boards so it wasn't packed with pictures or over crowded so the pictures that were on there did stand out and were very appealing. I think my trend boards have came out just how I expected and I believe that my trend boards give a clear message of what the trend actually is by the different use of pictures I have used.

I was happy with my final styling boards too, however when it came to printing them, they didn't come out very clear and it was quite disappointing that they didn't come out perfect as I had tried really hard to make my boards perfect, but when I printed them, neither of them looked very good, as all the pictures were a little blurry/fuzzy.

I was pleased with my two trends, I am glad that I picked the two trends that I did and overall I thought my shoots and my edited pictures came out really good, I think if I did get the opportunity to do this task again, I would attempt to do my shoot in the studio as I think the pictures probably would of came out better if they was in a studio rather than a garden and the lighting would have been a lot better in the studio.

Style board for bright frenzy

This is my final 'Bright Frenzy' styling board, I added the same title to this board as I did with my trend board, but I changed the colour as I thought yellow went better with this board. I didn't put to many photos on this board either as I didn't want it to be over crowded as when I did my research into boards, I found that the crowded boards were harder to look at, and not every picture was noticed, so by just having the three photos that I liked I thought this was a better idea that having lots of photos that I didn't really like. 

Style board for wild jungle

This is my final 'Wild Jungle' style board, I added the title so my trend board and styling board had something that made them look the same, so they connect. I only picked two pictures for this board, as I was really pleased with these two pictures and I didn't want to ruin the board by adding to many photos and take the attention of the good photos. 

Final Wild Jungle trend board

This is my final 'Wild Jungle' trend board, I did a colour palette for this board too as I really liked my other colour palette on my other board. I also added a big bold title for the board, so it was clear what the name of the trend was, I put an even amount of zebra print and leopard print pictures on my board, I added pictures I took myself, history pictures, furniture, clothes and accessories. 

Bright frenzy final trend board

This is my final trend board, I made the colour palette this time properly, by using the actual colours from the pictures I had got from various places. I created boxes and then used a tool on photoshop to click on one of the images to get the actual colour to appear in the box. So I was really happy with my new colour palette as it matched the actual colours on my board. I also wanted a range of different pictures on my board, so I took a picture myself of a jacket for the board, and I also found fashion clothing images from pinterest and google image for my board. I got pictures of nails as well because I didn't want my board just to be fashion based, and I wanted the main trend to be obvious to the viewer. 

Final edited shots for bright frenzy trend

 These are my edited shots for my 'Bright Frenzy' styling shoot, I was very pleased with the edited pictures, and I now had to decide which photos would look best on my styling board. I changed the saturation, and the levels, to brighten the photos to make them stand out more and to make the neon clothing become the main focus of the photo.

Final edited shots for wild jungle trend

These are the three final shots that were my favourite, so I had edited these in photoshop to make them look better, and compared to the pictures before they had been edited I thought they looked a lot better and more professional. I was really pleased with my final pictures.

Photo shoot for bright frenzy trend

The 'Bright Frenzy' trend was also set in my garden the same as my other shoot, I did both the shoots at the same time, with the same set, but I did change the hair styles and accessories to suit each trend.

I was really happy with my
shoot, it turned out a lot better than my test shoot I did, I thought the lighting was a lot better, however I will edit some of the pictures that I want to use for my final shoot, to make them look brighter and the lighting look more professional.

Photo shoot for wild jungle trend

I did my 'Wild Jungle' trend set in my garden, some against the wall and some against the fence, I tried to make the background as plain as possible so the attention wouldn't get taken off the clothing, which is the main focus of this shoot.

I was really happy with my pictures that I took, but I was planning to edit some of the final pictures that I was going to use on my style board, on photoshop to make the shoots look brighter, and more suitable for the theme that I wanted to use. 

Kate moss

Kate Moss was spotted with a faux fur 'shawl' on, early on in a blog I mentioned about faux fur clothing as I had spotted the trend becoming popular on high street shops and also on WGSN, WGSN predict is to become popular during A/W 13/14, by spotting celebrities in it means the trend has probably already started, as most trends start on catwalks then to celebrities, and then into high street stores.

Kate Middleton

Since becoming the princess' Kate has been in the public eye a lot and her fashion has become a big part of our magazines. Everything she is photographed in, is put in a magazine or online, a lot of people have become inspired by her choice of fashion and she now has a lot of fans that will buy similar clothing to her that she is pictured in.

As she is now pregnant, everyone is a lot more interested in what she is wearing, and how she is styled and whether she looks nice in what she is wearing, especially pregnant women will be interested in her look. Maternity clothing will probably become more popular as Kate's clothing will be listed and so will the shop and similar clothing, so people will tend to go our and buy similar clothing so they look as good in it.

The percentage of pregnant women has risen since Kate has announced she is pregnant, so the baby clothing sales are expected to rise.

I found this page from the vogue website, which mentions a little about Kate and her fashion.
