There are many brands have floral patterns on garments. In the Spring and Summer 2015 and 2016 collections, Orla Kiely uses vintage florals element on designs quite a lot. Also, the colour match is quite vintage as well.

I use watercolor to drew some patterns’ details of 2015-2016 collections, and I discovered that the most important point of this kind of vintage patterns is always repeat the same thing.

Here are some wall paper and small items with vintage florals pattern.

I tried to use real flower to make a concept board to show the idea of flower and different personality. I bought some flowers in quite light colour, and I drew different part of faces and combined them together, the original illustration is by Hsiao-Ron Cheng, I chose different part of illustration and combined them to become a face, and use black and white on it. The reason of it is because black and white and ‘colorful’ is quite different things, what’s more, the idea combine different part to become a  face is also to show the idea of different personality.

Flower is a really abroad area,  it related different cultures and floral elements appear in almost every season. Floral trend has many different types, such as vintage florals, floral blooms, floral camouflage and comocrea. “Florals dominate comocrea this season, as oversized painterly poppies, spliced dirty repeats and chintzy botanicals drive S/S 17.”

Many artists and photographer adore to use flower in their artwork work as well, as many of their artwork inspired by flowers. Such as artist Jose Rommusi and illustrator Michelle Morin; photographer like Egor Vasilyer and Yasutomo Ebisu.

 [STRANGER]

Brighton was a new place to me, and this is my first month. Here are many graffiti on the wall, I saw this one on the first when I was on my way to uni.

[In a pub…]

I was sitting alone, and this picture was taken before there were somebody else joined my table.

[WHAT people saying on the first day?]

[Hair colour]

I use photoshop to make the hair combine with three different colour to show what I’ve seen when we was in the lesson of health introduction. No, I didn’t see many asian.

[Where I’ve been?]

Even though I was really bad on reading map, but I tried to follow the google map from my house to grand parade, dorset place and else.

[Brighton]

Just like I mentioned before, Brighton is very new to me, but I quite like this city, it is very lively and I quite expect how my university life is.
