Fashion Story Board Workshop - September 24th - 9:30 - 2 pm

So just what is the Fashion Story Board Contest?? 

The 4-H Fashion Storyboard is an industry-inspired method of displaying of original designs.  The best storyboards create vivid visual images that are interesting and appealing to viewers.  The storyboard “tells the story” of the designer’s idea.  The storyboard includes original illustrations and flats, as well as, additional materials (such as photos from the internet or magazines, paper, fabric swatches, patterns, etc.) that have influenced the unique design.

Fashion Storyboard basics. To participate in the 4-H Fashion Storyboard Contest, a 4-H member creates an original design based on the design brief for the given year. The storyboard includes original illustrations and flats, as well as additional materials (such as photos from the internet or magazines, paper, fabric swatches, patterns, etc.) that have influenced the design. Requirements for the Fashion Storyboard are in the state guidelines, which are updated and distributed annually.

To look at some examples of last years story boards go look at District 8 4-H Pics. You will see the fun and the creativity into making story boards of all types.  Then sign up for the Fashion Story Board Workshop on Saturday, September 24th by Tuesday, September 21st to the Extension Office (972) 932-9069.  Those that RSVP will get their boards provided for them that day.  There is a $5 supply fee (for paper, scrapbooking type supplies, etc).  Come have some fun!!!
