The process of making a swatch book is really excited. I developed from the first sample pattern to the final vision. I planed a lot. For example, I had both dark color and light colors in my color board. I thought I could mix them together to create the ‘world of steampunk.’ Also, I drew some complexed sketched to make patterns.

In the real process, I changed a lot. I decided to use light colors and dark colors separately to make patterns, because they look better in that way. Also, I found the complex drawing didn’t work well on digital files because they are too hard to trace. Basically my intuition came after I met some difficulties…they are more like a solution.

 

Here is Yuzhou Lou's Blog. I will share some notes of courses, reading and personal work in my daily life. You can also call me Jen. I am from Shanghai, China. Now I live in new York, USA. I am studying at Parsons, the New school for Design as a freshman. My major in the further will be Fashion Design. Dark colors are my favorite. I like Lolita Fashion, Traditional Asian style and wedding dresses. Also, I prefer a few of gothic and punk elements. Design is part of lives. This is one thing I believe. It doesn't matter how old you are or what job do you do. Design is a style of living. Keep having day dreams. That's the way to make people create new things.
