Moodboards and Storyboards

CATWALK

Below is a mood board which I have created to put across some ideas in which I am aiming to portray through my styling. The animal print and feathers represent the naturalistic styling which I will create for the outfits and accessories which my model will be wearing. The two tribal women show their beautiful and flawless skin and show how tribal women look. The larger photo of the women from the catwalk shows how I want to use a woman model and shows how the makeup in simple whereas the hair and the accessories is boldest aspects of the look.



The storyboard above is the representation of the main influences which I have found through out my research. The tribal head dresses, the accessories, the skin and the body. All the images I found show how the men are the most dressed up and do it to impress the women and to show off their status within their culture. I wanted to use a women model to show how women in our culture are the ones who use accessories, hair and makeup to make themselves look more beautiful.

 

EDITORIAL
Below is the storyboard showing how I have create my final designs through out my research. I have looked at patterns, textures, hair, skin and focused more on tribal women than men (unlike my catwalk look). I found the womens skin, accessories and hair was the most influencing and inspiring for my editorial look. The patterns influenced how I would create the full sleeve with their textiles and designs like the one shown below.  All of the women in my storyboard have flawless and health looking skin which is an aspect which I want to use, and one which I want to stand out, within my editorial look.
 

The moodboard above shows the colours, textures, figures and accessories which I wanted to portray through my editorial campaign. The accessories shown on the top corner and native american tribal man in the center bottom ( the layering of neclaces) are just some of the accessories which may use within my editorial look e.g. using bracelets around the ankles, biceps, neclaces could be in the hair or simply layer over the chest. The drawing of the womens body shows how I have looked at the skeleton and the shapes of the womens body to show how I will use body paint to create a full sleeve and a design on the side of the body emphasising the womens curves. Tribal tattoos and body paint is usually drawn onto the men however I feel womens bodies are much more beautiful. The colours and shades of the whole moodboard represents the hair colour of the model I have chosen. I chose to use a model which goes against every stereotypical image of a tribal man/women - pale skin, ginger hair and green/blue eyes.  The image in the top right hand corner shows the image of the woman carrying an object from her head. I wanted to create hair style which would reference tribal womens head dresses and head scarfs e.g. the scarfs which they may carry objects on top of such as water.
The texture of the object she is carrying was another aspect which I though I may use when styling the hair - for example using a thickly texture wig, hair piece.
