Week 2/8th term/ Art Center

Its already week 2; that means 11 more weeks till graduation. Not sure if I'm excited or scared! I wanted to post a little research for my 8th term project. I chose Chanel as the brand because I think there is opportunity there for them to invest in the auto industry. As a private brand they can basically create joint ventures with small car companies that need a design heritage and specific design language. Chanel is a timeless concept, a lifestyle, and a leader in creativity and innovation. I'm posting my design objectives that I have at this point (still will be a working concept), and my trend prediction/material analysis' boards that I will continue to work on through out the term. :) yey for 8th term!

Trend 1: Angle of Approach
_Back to basics geometry
_Flame surfacing was so 5 minutes ago
_Basic shape, simplicity



Trend 2: PLASTIC is the new BLACK
_Recycled plastic is going to replace natural "green" materials
_Plastic is fantastic
(file under MATERIALS)



Trend 3: ANDROGYNOUS
_coed design breaks barriers between what is female and what is male
(file under SOCIAL MOVEMENT)



Trend 4: DEVICES
_Motion, projections, and digital media inspiring the fusion between art and design with fashion and lifestyle.
(file under: MIXED MEDIA)



more to come!
