WGSN - Preferred Colours

Going back onto the WGSN site, i looked at other colours available in palettes. These are what i looked at the most and what i thought might be on interest to the brief. 

'Flourish'

'Ersatz'

'Illusory'

"Mere colour, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways."

-Oscar Wilde.

WGSN-EDU

WGSN is a website that works along side Universities and Colleges. The website posts articles that are relevant to students such as 'Think tank', 'Materials' and 'Trends.' By going into the 'Trends' section i can go to the 'colour palette' which i can look at to help me with this brief.

Colour Palette.

"Colour for Autumn/Winter 2009/10 is a season of extremes - from light to dark, natural to high tech, traditional to modern and hand made to mass-produced.

Underpinning this approach to the season is a layer of atmospheric light. It lifts and surprises, enhancing colour tones across every palette." 

Pinks/Neutrals.

Blacks/Greys/Whites

Vault49.

Vault49 are a boutique/creative agency based around photography. They are based in New York but hailed from London, they produce award winning designs for clients such as Coca Cola, clothing brands and many famous singers for there album covers.


Here is an example of their work. This one is to promote Samsungs range of MP3 Players, i found this design on the website and also as a magazine advert. I like the way they have used a photograph and Incorporated illustration into it, looks very effective and straight forward. The colour palate is very strong and eye catching using a range blues, greens and yellows.

Here are some more examples of there work.

The website is very well laid out and it easy to access. It is visually stimulating to look it and very inspiring. I would recommend this site for fellow aspiring designers to look at.

There brand promise is also stated on the website -

"Their work communicates on many profound and intricately detailed layers which continue to reward the viewer with new discoveries and a prolonged appreciation of the craft and detail featured in every Vault creation"

I consider this an influence on my work.
