Trend Board

The Ask

The Ask ❦

One of my first projects in college was to create a physical inspiration board using curated images for a potential clothing brand. It needed to communicate visually what can not be communicated verbally.

The Process

For my trend board, I first gathered all required materials. I collected and printed images that reflected my theme, cut them out, and prepared the foam core to the correct size. Before gluing anything down, I experimented with different arrangements to find the most balanced composition. Once finalized, I mounted the images neatly and added finishing touches to ensure the board looked clean, cohesive, and visually inspiring.

  • Inspired by the softness of Rococo, I brought together images of elegant portraits, blooming florals, nature, beauty, and fashion to build a romantic, feminine visual world.

  • I printed the selected images at various sizes, carefully cut them out, and prepared the foam core to the correct dimensions for mounting.

  • I tested multiple arrangements to find the most balanced composition, then glued the images down neatly and added finishing touches to ensure the board looked polished and cohesive.

What stood out to me most from this project was realizing how essential a unique perspective truly is. When I started it freshman year, I saw things through a completely different lens. Looking back, I know I would create something much more aligned with the person I’ve grown into since then.
