This is going to be a fun challenge! I love seeing when designers show off their work that has made it on a TV show, movie or worn by a celeb. It fascinating to see how they capture the essence of a character with beads and metal.
Your Assignment:
Create a piece of jewelry inspired by a celebrity or pop culture character. The character can be from a TV show, movie or book. Fun, right? Ask yourself - what would she wear and go to town making it.
Tips for Designing for a Character:
Start by doing a little research. What kind of clothing or jewelry did the character wear in the book or movie? Create a pin board to gather images, outfits, photos or other inspiration of your heroine. Was there something meaningful to the character - a symbol, a place, etc. that you can tie into a piece of jewelry?
If you are going for your favorite celeb gather together photos of her styled for the red carpet and candid shots. Is this a piece of jewelry she would sport at an awards show or one she'd wear out to lunch while dodging the paparazzi?
Have you noticed throughout the Mojo Challenge what a great tool Pinterest can be for designers? Use it for research, to pull together mood/style boards and ultimately to reach out to women who will love your jewelry. If you don't have an account and you sell jewelry online - take advantage of the best tool for online sellers.
