Watch Me Design 17: Mood Boards

[@breadbake8896]

Listen, I know you make these for educational purposes but this is the most relaxing thing to watch when you need a break from T cell pathways

[@zoehongteaches]

I get variations on your comment often and I find it flattering. hahahahahaha

[@AyahDemerdash]

I am still waiting for the rest of this series !

[@wolfer3977]

Woo! Another episode! Zoe, thank you so much for making this series, you've inspired me to experiment with my own fashion, even though I'm not a fashion designer.

[@zoehongteaches]

Yay! Experiment! Have fun! Learn about yourself and your own process!

[@emcate5770]

My goodness ! This is the most helpful video I have watched to date. I live in the UK and our lectures have a very independent approach and this is really guiding me through my course, I can’t thank u enough !!!!

The most complete channel of fashion design on KZbin. I was delighted to watch the whole "Watch me Design" serie from video1 to video17 in only 2 days. I have absorved so much with those videos then in an entire life of study. Oh, no. Hold on a sec...I didn't study fashion yet. I am an accountant. Anyway, in 2021 I am going to Fashion School as soon as Covid19 give us all a break. Thanks, Zoe.

[@antiguarose3946]

can't believe I have only discovered this channel now! you are amazing and so educational

[@shifanatk8482]

Thank u so much Zoe I have binge watched all the videos in this series and going to start another one♥️

I've never made any kind of board at fashion school. At home by myself I haven't made any boards except for pinterest boards but usually I just have an idea for a collection and then save a gazillion pics from online and organize them into folders on my computer and folders with subfolders. I write notes on a piece of paper of all the inspirations, colour ideas, muses, styles, elements etc and then I scroll through some of my pics I saved and start sketching rough bodies with outfits. Sometimes when I'm collecting pics from online I'll stop and start sketching before saving the next pic and stopping and sketching. This design along I didn't even bother doing that. I just wrote my ideas on a piece of paper, sketched the idea I already had in my head then did a google image search for birds on my phone and as I scrolled down and saw something inspiring I sketched a bit of an outfit, scrolled down and saw something else cool and added a bit more to the same outfit. Sometimes at this point I'd just finish the outfit on my own without looking at anything but keeping my notes in mind and other times I'd find another pic or 2 that was inspiring and add one or 2 new elements to the outfit. So far I've done 20 outfits and just a sketch of just a collar idea. I don't think I even know all the different types of boards. I think I thought a mood board was the inspiration board at the start and ongoing as you come across inspiring things and adding it to the board as you explore. So this is interesting that you made an exploration book but didn't start doing a mood board till after all that work you've done already. So this board isn't for sketching and designing? Even if you were a creative director with a team? I've seen designers with inspo books that they add to as they go and refer to as they are coming up with designs and a lot of the designing happening on the mannequin draping and trying different things. So the process is really interesting to watch. I was going to write down my list of birds then go on my computer to search and save images for each one and save into a folder and pick out ones I like for my colour story. I'm going to go and see what other videos you have on boards and give those a watch. I've seen on TV other boards by I think Courtney Love and a fashion blogger where they do a mood board to present to a bunch of people at a meeting to work on a project or collaboration so in that case they're doing the mood board first or inspiration board. I don't know my boards clearly. I think this is the last video in this playlist for this series and this video is a year old so I'm not sure if now you're still going to continue and add to it but I'd be interested in watching the next step

[@1CharlieMike]

I have loved this series so far. Can't wait for the next one!

[@veenabalakrishnan3873]

This was so iseful!! I got a lot to take away from the video. I am a fashion design student and i always had a little bit of trouble when it came to how to organise your mood board and how to express and explore the theme through it.. thankyou for clarifying my doubts! Have a good day!

[@nellispinelli9]

I just came across your youtube channel and I'm in love with this series, I'm so sad there aren't more episodes 😭

[@ayushi2330]

Can you please make a video explaining about different boards and what to do on them, how can they be made, how are they are different. Actually I have no idea of different boards and how to make each of them. It will be very helpful for many students. Theme, inspiration, mood, colour, doodle,etc

Nice one

[@michaelroot4425]

tbh i didn´t watch every episode and I do skip quit a bit within the videos I do watch from this series. (I do enjoy it but they´re just too long for me bc i feel guilty watching your videos instead of learning for my microeconomics finals tomorrow). So what I wanted to ask you is: will we be able to buy this collection someday? i really love two of the male looks and I would love to buy them someday! (the turtleneck...ish look and the boro themed coat)

[@zoehongteaches]

I haven't decided yet.

[@samiyaislam9181]

Can you please make a video on what is a muse board?

[@Cynth982]

Hello Zoe! Thank you for this great video. I have a question about the order of doing things: you say in this video that you should sort through your croquis and that can help you edit your mood board. But I've been following your "Fashion Design Tutorial" Series and there you state that concept dev + mood board come first. Croquis/sketching doesn't start until step 4. So from this I understood that the first thing to do is sketchbook exploration, then colour story, then I pick out the best bits of my sketchbook exploration and transfer that to my finalised mood board. So my mood board is now completed. How can I go back and edit the mood board if it's already glued and finished? Was I supposed to do croquis/sketches before finalising my mood board? Perhaps I missed the video where this was explained or just misunderstood altogether :S Your videos are so helpful! :)

[@zoehongteaches]

I typically do a rough mood board and do a new, final one for presentation purposes. And typically, mood boards are done in Photoshop, even if sketchbook dev is done on paper.

Sorry, you might have touched on this already. How will the sizing work? Will it be sized s-xl or one size fits most? Thanks. I have been enjoying watching your process.

I just imagine Naruto characters when I see your drawings. I’m in love. :))

[@varnitsingh6302]

Can you please clearly tell me about theme board of a design process. I mean how to make a theme board through out form mind mapping? For example I have taken translucent effect and sharp edges of Crystal as my Inspiration, then nex how to make theme board on it?❓❓❓❓❓

[@jaymipembroke9522]

I love these videos but I still have no clue how to create a mood board for my class. I have to have it on the first day of class in two weeks. I have my five designs and flats but have never done a mood board.....witch is really frustrating because I am one class away from a double associate degree in merchandising and fashion design.

[@momocisse3823]

Awesome 👏🏾 this is what I was waiting for 😂 thaanks I'm a lil bit lost on the last minutes I don't know what where you doing and noting around 13:00mn

As always a great video. I was just wondering if this line was considered a "better" or "contemporary" line? I think you mentioned it before, I just forgot lol. And also could discuss a little more on androgenuos fashion?

[@zoehongteaches]

What do you want to know about androgynous fashion?

[@CandaceJordan00]

@@zoehongteaches I was just curious about how one would market it. Would consumers just get bored with shirts and pants? And also if there are lines that dont need to be crossed when designing. I know my question is a bit jumbled right now lol. It's super early, and I haven't had coffee yet

[@zoehongteaches]

@@CandaceJordan00 A lot people live in shirts and pants. Designers jobs are about crossing lines and pushing boundaries. :)
