I love how the he has used shapes and colours in his illustrations, I think his drawings have a Picasso feel to them maybe he has been inspired by Picasso's artwork to influence his illustrations.

I love how the accessories uses colours, patterns and shapes because I love accessories as I think they are beautifully made and some of these accessories have a vintage feel to them. I used to wear accessories a lot when I was younger in my first year but nowadays I don't wear them as much as I used to maybe I should start wear some of my old accessories again, which I have kept in a drawer in my bedroom for a long time sometimes to bright up my outfit sometimes.

I look how they have used bold, bright and snazzy shapes, colours and patterns in their interior designs. I think the Optic nerve style in this issue has good use of geometrical patterns and shape and also has bit of a 1960's retro feel to it.

Interior Bedroom Designs by Designer Guild

Bedlinen Spring/ Summer 2013 Collection by Designers Guild

I love this collection of designs for bedrooms because of the way they have explored detail, techniques and colours in their floral designs which some of it has a bit of an ethereal feel to it in their choice of colours.

Seraphina Collection by Designers Guild

I love how they have used the colours and details in their florals for their interior design collection and the floral designs look a bit like they could created and painted with water colours rather than printed on to the fabric.

These collections are inspiring my floral designs with the theme called ethereal in my design work while I am drawing my designs and exploring with different medias such as coloured pencils, coloured inks and watercolour paints etc.

Jasmine Becket Griffith

I love her paintings because of how she mixes fantasy, fairy tales with sometimes gothic elements in her paintings and it is also nothing like the paintings I have seen before.

Ethereal Theme Fashion

British Vogue, October Issue 2013
I love how the designers have used the florals and fabrics in delicate, light and soft patterns, colours and fabrics in their designs. I also love the scenery of a fashion shoot is looks like it is set in the large garden of a old fashioned country house from the Victorian period, but in a light and very romantic way.
