Research: Inspiration Board

Looking through my images in a folder on my computer to me is not an appealing or inspiring way to spark some ideas and to help me develop my project further. So with this in mind I decided to produce a inspiration board on Adobe Photoshop which will represent the start of my final major project.

I prefer to see my work in this way and enjoy making moodboard because I find them very motivating and easy to work with when progressing through a project so that you stay on track at all times. I just need to print this out and place on my wall so as I can see this all the time.

Inspiration: Billy Kidd

Looking through the internet for inspiration I decided to look at the use of withering flowers in art and design. I came across a photography called Billy Kidd who has a number of beautiful photographs titled 'Decaying Flowers'

His collection of images shows that there is something beautiful and purely natural in the process of dying and the idea of flowers such as the rose can be just as beautiful at its withering stage. 

I particularly like the use of the dark background, showing the dramatic variety of vibrant and contrasting colours forming on the withering flower. These photographs will be a great source for the development of my colour palette.
