The greatest wealth of all the world's riches is you and once you are aware of it, you become the richest man in the world.

Trend Name

I had initially intended to name my trend...

'Brocade Affluence'

However after looking more into trends and collections, I realised I wanted to concentrate more on embellishment and applique with some influences of Brocade patterns, not the Brocade itself, so I decided to change the trend name to...

'Regal Oppulence'

This was so that it would relate more to the riches and wealth of the direction that I wanted to take my trend and concept towards.

However, since I changed my concept to concentrate on the Illuminati, I feel that this trend name doesn't really have any direct relevance to both the trend AND the concept. So I decided to look into creating another trend name, one that would be relevant to the Illuminati and also the trend of jewels, brocade patters and ornate embellishment.

I decided to listen to the lyrics from some of the tracks off the album that inspired me to look into the Illuminati in the first place -
    

                     'Tyga - Careless World'







I decided to note down some of the key words that I thought related to the Illuminati and could be used within a trend name.

Illuminati Inspiration


- Kings and Queens

- The Dream of Queens [as I am designing for Womenswear]

- Black Throne [Black relating to the stereotypical Illuminati colour, Throne representing the symbolic Throne spoken about by different artists]

- Majestic Dreams [Majestic would relate to the trend of embellishment and jewels, whilst dreams represents the dreams of success the members of the Illuminati have]

- Glory Throne [Glory representing power and wealth]

- Majestic Throne

- Glory Tears [Tears representing the tears and symbolic tears of artists who feel trapped within the Illuminati, who wish they never 'sold their soul']

- Enlightened Paradise [Enlightened representing the translation of the Latin word Illuminati. Paradise representing the paradise of a new world order that they dream to create]

Work in Progress

These are a just a few of my Illuminati concept pages, this is a mixture of finished and unfinished pages.


Illuminati

[ What is the Illuminati? ]

After some initial thought I realised that the Illuminati would be perfect as a new concept.

I then remembered that a Graphic Designer on my friends list on Facebook created an album called
[ InSpiration CoVe : Collection I ]
He created an album full of a variety of different images, ranging from artwork, sharks, to musical artists, clothing and models. The idea of the album is that it is "A source for all creatives to gain inspiration from....colour, shapes, lighting, graphics, photography, fashion.....its all here for you to be inspired by..."

The following are some images that I saved from the album.
