#Portfolio MoodBoard

Hola Amigos!
This is the first post for the step by step fashion portfolio!
Now a portfolio usually includes all you best work which you would show to get a job or pass an interview to get into University.

The most important thing in there is your moodboard as its from there that all your inspiration comes from.
To make one you'll need a paper in the size of your choice, some pictures, scissors and glue :)

So basically begin by cutting out all the images that get your attention and that you like. Then glue them on the paper and before you know it the moodboard is done :)
Here is a link for  a youtube video I created for this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDGvNCboAuI&feature=g-upl :) x

So These are the magazine that I used to get the images for my moodboard. If you want to purchase a magazine then I would Recommend Look as it is more fashion related.

And this is the moodboard that I created! Remember to cut the edges neatly as it looks more professional. But don't be afraid of experimenting.

What You Need

There are some basic items needed when creating a portfolio.
I have created many in the past and the key items I need are quite affordable so no worries people your purse wont feel any pain!
The main items are:
x1 portfolio file (now I always buy mine from Amazon.co.uk as its cheaper than any other store)
x1 pad of A3 paper (again this is bought from Amazon.co.uk)
x1 set of sketch pencils (HB, B, B2, H2 are the pencils you need. Try sketching and you will soon find the pencil that's best for you! I tend to use the HB and B2)
x1 set of colouring pencils (I find Crayola the best!)
x1 set of scissors (normal scissors nothing fancy)
x? magazines (you can also use the Internet to find images to put on your moodboard)
x1 glue stick (not PVA but glue)
x1 bottle of PVA (now PVA)
x? Croquis (nothing complicated, this is just the outline sketch of your person. Try to have a variety of poses as it looks much more professional) The website you might find useful is this one -> http://www.designersnexus.com/design/free-fashion-templates/

So these are the only basics I seem to remember that are useful. I shall go out and buy these items and then make a Youtube video so you guys can know how much the items cost and where I bought them from etc.

Exciting Stuff EH?
