On my Collection Design class we have this project, where we pretend to have a manufacture and that we are in chrge of the design team for the next season collection to be produce and we need to convince Production and Sales team that our decision whereas design are the right one for the company.
The first part of the project is to decide who is our cutomer, where does she or he buys, how often, and within what retail price range they buy. We also need to decide what king of garments does we produce, career dress, evening gowns, sport wear, and so mamy so many. So its cool, is like chossing what kind of company will who like to have in a future or in which kind of company will one like to work for as a member of the design team.
Then we need to decide about what kind of mood our collection, and start looking for inspirations, and start making assuption about next season color way since we can access nor have the money yet to buy color reports in advance for next season. I'd start looking around the web cheking cool places were Icould create my own palletes so I could include them in the Color Boards.
I Found this place DeGraeve that creates a color palette from any picture you found online that you migth want to use and breaks the picture into the main five colors of the picture and presented to you as dull and vibrant colors.
There's also this place Color Hunter where you can create your own palettes and posted online, though on this you need to have an account which is totally free, but also you could search paletes related to a theme you might be interest on.
