Create an Inspiration Board

I began to collect anything that caught my eye in magazines. I had about 10 Bazaar Magazines that I have been keeping in order to create a collage. I had beautiful pictures of models that were wearing high-end designer clothing. However, each picture was more than just a girl wearing clothes. I started to see powerful women with determination. It was as if each model was thinking about their dreams, and going for them. Some of the models weren’t even that beautiful, but the story behind the pictures were. As I collected about 75 different ads, I started to cut the labels off, so that the only thing I could see were the women themselves.

After I cut them all, I continued to look through the magazines for more inspiration. I went by one page that was about designing the interior of your home fashionably. One phrase stood out at me, “And God Created Woman…”. That was all I needed. I knew that what I wanted to express was the creation of the powerful determined driven woman, against all hate and judgments. I crated my collage and put it up on my wall. It inspires me everyday.
