Story Board Workshop - March 2nd

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. The purpose of the Fashion Storyboard contest is to give 4-H members an opportunity to create a storyboard of their original design.  It also provides the members an opportunity to gain knowledge of the career responsibilities of a fashion designer and illustrator, enhance creativity and originality, and develop visual communication skills.

We will be hosting a workshop on how to plan and organize the board on March 2nd, 2013 from 2 - 4 pm at the County Extension Office.

The following design brief serves as the direction for the 2013 Fashion Storyboards. 4-H members should create their Fashion Storyboard around their interpretation of the design brief.

"Be True to Who You Are"

As Dr. Seuss says, “Why fit in when you were born to Standout!” Who cares what anyone else thinks. Go with your emotion. Show your passion! Show the you that is you in your original fashion.
