Wishful Thinking

A little wishful thinking on my part. I love to imagine my "fairytale" wedding. Funny thing is I say all the time I'll just wear a sun dress and do it up bbq-style, but the deeper I dig for ideas...well, the more ideas I get. So,  I'm not sure this is turning out to be a good thing. Thougt I wanted a summer wedding, but I think I have a color picked out for each season. That Pantone got me all hyped about that 2011 Honeysuckle color, but I've found a few more favorites.

This color scheme reminds me of my sisters wedding (spldbch.blogspot.com). It was beautiful.

I'm thinking the vintage style is more my speed, but I could incorporate some of the other colors. I see a trend in the warm palettes-- makes sense.

I needa...

This past year has brought a lot to my attention as a designer. I have no style, no distinct look, no niche in design. I had been lacking motivation to free design, because school had taken so much out of me. I was physically and mentally exhausted. However, now I am on my holiday break and have been applying for jobs, internships, reading blogs, visiting sites. I am doing the "designer thing." I am beginning to feel a bit of camaraderie  with those in my field. 

I have realized that opportunities are not going to fall into my lap and I have to work for them by testing the waters. I do what I know and play it safe when it comes to design, but I need to step outside the box. Maybe part of it is my lack of resources, but to acquire them, I have to be determined. I want to design with confidence.

I want to design and have no regrets. I need a niche.

Colors

So as a designer, color is important. The pantone color for 2010 was a teal color, which was absolutely beautiful and was used through out fashion design, advertisement design, and graphic design. The upcoming year beholds a new color- honey suckle. Hmmm..... what do with it? Just finding out how much inspiration you can get from colors alone.
