Here are my final mood boards and colour board that I have created for my Minimalist Couture trend. To get the right colours for my moodpboard I used the eye dropper tool in Adobe Illustrator and also opened up the Pantone swatch collection so I could get the perfect match. However some of the colours are slightly off but majority of them have a perfect match.
Here are the mood boards I created for my different themes. Now I will decide on one and focus on that theme.
Schiaparelli and Thirties Fashion.
I will begin this project by researching and trying to trend predict the trends for Spring/Summer 2018.
I will begin by looking at past trends and whats on now and see what is due for a return.
There are however four I have already thought of which are:
Realistically out of those four I have narrowed it down to two already which are glam rock and minimalist couture, however I will try and see if I can incorporate all of them into whichever one I decide to follow on with.
For part of my project I decided to focus on the sub genres of metal. To make it more creative and interesting I decided to research band photos relating to the sub genre I chose. Below are the different collages I made for certain sub genres.
Early Metal Collage
Shock Metal Collage
Grunge Collage
New Wave of British Heavy Metal Collage
Punk Collage
Thrash Metal
Here are 4 Gif’s I have created using Photoshop. I decided to focus on the sub-genres of metal and choose the main bands relating to the sub-genre and include them in the Gif. I focused on Early metal, Shock metal, Grunge and New Wave of British Heavy Metal. If you click on the images they will redirect you to the Gif. I couldn’t figure out how to have the Gif working on this page but I will try and sort that out.
Here is the timeline I have created based on the research I have done. It mentions all the different sub genres and where they have originated from and when they were around until or if they are still around. However I’m sure there are a lot more sub genres that haven’t been mentioned, but these are the most common.

http://sendbackmystamps.org – Here is part of a metal fanzine I have been getting inspiration from (pictures below are not in correct order), it is called Thrash’em All #3 (Poland) 1988.
“Thrash’em All #3 (Poland) 1988. Editor: “Mariusz Kmiołek” (in Polish)
Early issue of this pioneering Polish fanzine/magazine. In Polish, but even if you can’t read it, still a cool look into the dedicated, passionate world of the East Bloc underground in the 80’s…I am sure this was not easy to put together. Live reviews, features and interviews with The Great Kat, Running Wild, Holy Terror, Anthrax, Exumer, Satan, Minotaur, Wilczy/Wolf Spider, Merciless Death (POL) Kreon, Raxas, Haron, Metal Mind records, reviews and more…”
For my zine I have decided to focus on the genre ‘metal’. I think this could be such an interesting topic to develop on because there’s so much to talk about for example:
I will start off my project by researching metal and the history of it and why it was created. I will then move onto researching different metal fanzines and getting some inspiration from these as to what I should put in my zine and also how it should look
