WATCH THE TUTORIAL
Step One
Start with the Master Theme
Overview: Begin by absorbing the overall mood or vibe of the trend, focusing on key elements like color and style. For example, the "Hypercolor" trend emphasizes bold, contemporary colors with a quirky, modern feel.
Step Two
Color Direction
Proportions and Usage: Pay attention to the size of color chips, which indicate the prominence of each color in your designs. Larger chips are for dominant colors, while smaller ones are for accents.
Step Three
Trend Board Categories
Use the categories to guide your design process. Whether you’re designing Hyper Flowers: Use this to create large-scale, bold floral prints. Consider using digital effects or photo-realistic styles, and explore different scales for versatility in apparel or homeware. Hyper Skins: Focus on graphic, bold animal prints that can also border on geometric designs. These work well for swimwear, intimates, and apparel. Hyper Weave: Explore large-scale checks and tartans, combining different scales and textures for contemporary designs.
Step Four
Design Process
Choose Key Elements: Select a motif or image that resonates with the trend's theme. Adjust colors and experiment with different effects, like digital blurs, to align with the trend's aesthetic.
Placement and Repetition: Consider the placement of motifs and the use of negative space to ensure your design flows naturally. Use repetition thoughtfully to avoid a grid-like appearance.
Step Five
Finalization
Multiple Print Stories: Develop several print variations from the same trend board, each with a unique focus (e.g., large-scale florals, geometric animal skins). This allows for a cohesive yet diverse collection.
