Pinterest Board, My New Favourite Way To Get Inspiration.

This is for my biggest board that's all about parties. It is huge, and in consequence, has an awful lot of things I like, but here, I'm mainly going to focus on the part that inspired me mainly for posters, since its the only thing that, for me, really inspired me to make a piece, whilst the rest were random ideas I had from tasks I was given to complete.

As you can see, my first test with Adobe Illustrator was directly inspired by this board, within the bottom leftish corner, you can see the photo that I traced for the vector art. With this too, you can really tell I like the idea of disco balls, which also inspired the photoshop poster I made for the theme. This was made by, well, using Pinterest, like looking up key phrases, then letting its algorithm guide what I would look at next, which was something I always liked.

Was it successful? Well, with the goal of this to inspire me to make a piece, this is by far the most helpful, because it inspired me to make multiple! I think the reason why is just because I found things I truly;y do like, along with imagery that really spoke to me, and formed what a party could truly be.

How could I develop this further? By simply adding more images to the board, that still reminds me of parties, but different, if you know what I mean. For example, rather than continuing to add pictures of disco balls, I could move on to concerts, since to me they are a different type of party, whilst still being visually interesting, which could move me into other ideas and so it continues.

Is this something I would revisit? I absolutely, I'm thinking of always adding to this board, simply because then I can look through it for other inspiration, even if the brief isn't about parties.
