MUCH NEEDED INSPIRATION TRIP TO JOSHUA TREE
JC 💜
I have been extremely inspired lately and have a million and one ideas that I need to get out of my head and on to paper. During my design process I research and gather images, music, colors, literature etc. that inspire my designs, which in return give them life to grow. Nature has always been a main source of inspiration in my designs, because like my designs, it is always evolving and changing with time. Key design elements that captured my eye lately, and that I noticed have captured other designers attention aside from footwear, are features, colors, and trims that resemble the movement of the ocean. From ombre prints with iridescent beading and light flowing materials to shell surfaced hardware and coral inspired metallic trims. I create mood boards (like below) and scatter them around my loft to continually feed my right brain during the design process.
The main inspiration behind most, if not all good designs is the Golden ratio, or divine proportion. Its applications are limitless. It’s used in math, nature, art, and architecture. It’s alway been an inspiration behind my designs and art pieces.
The idea behind the golden ratio is if you divide a line into two parts so that: the longer part is divided by the smaller part, this is also equal to, the whole length divided by the longer part. Give it try it’s fun!
