DENTON-Like any other fashion designer or artist, color is the rooted inspiration for a runway collection for fashion week, a painting for an art gallery, or a graphic design for a product or advertisement.
It’s the same inspiration for communication design majors, fashion design majors, and art majors at UNT. Some students are inspired by colors they encounter in their everyday life, and others are inspired by the colors they’re attracted to.
“When designing garments, the colors of nature around me inspires what I design,” said senior fashion design Major Kristina Brown. Brown is currently interning with Chloe Dao, a fashion designer who won season 2 of Bravo’s TV Project Runway. She’s getting hands on experience with color encountering different colors while working with Chloe “A hint of color can brighten the mood of an outfit.” Brown said.
Color has also had an influence on communication design students at UNT. Senior communication design student Treavor Wagnor is so inspired by the colors around him he may snap a picture of a color on his camera phone when he sees it. Wagnor has created graphic designs full of color from black to fuchsia. He’s currently working on his senior design portfolio which at first glance is inspired by the color blue. “Color definitely inspires and changes my mood, if I see a color combination I instantly sketch it out and start designing,” Wagnor said.
Some UNT designers are simply inspired by the colors that they personally wear. Junior fashion designs Major James Moore favorite colors are black and white. When you walk into Moore’s work area black, and white fabric are scattered across his desk. “Every color has its place in fashion from charcoal to chartreuse,” Moore said. He’s currently working for the GAP with hopes of becoming a designer. Moore’s ultimate dream is coming out with his own fashion line. “I’m a huge fan of neutrals clean, and simple colors like black and or white which I feel is my signature look”, Moore said. When it comes to color, some UNT design students create around it. From bold colors, to neutral colors the students capture, or document the color in their mind and the design is created.
