FLORAL - THE 2015 SPRING / SUMMER COLLECTION

click on the title to be redirected to an image of what the layout is supposed to look like! (just in case the layout does not end up looking right on your browser)
 

- it's a pretty simple layout that was a strange fusion between graphic shop and i-got-too-lazy
- i just kind of went for it when i was coding this one
- 'hydraneas' took the least amount of time to do haha
- the image kind of reminds me of the beginning of spring, when the first flower begins to bloom c: because the background is fairly gloomy
- i happened to include a little tidbit about the recent conflicts and outrage over racial discrimination in america, so if that offends you, then i apologize.
 
- commemorating Anzac Day (also known as Remembrance Day), a national day in Australia & New Zealand that remembers all citizens who died in conflict (there's a better definition on the actual layout lol).
- i thought it was a fantastic way to not only have a cool layout out there, but also thank these brave men and women myself in a really weird way lol
- in case y'all were wondering, Anzac day was celebrated on April 25th this year; furthermore, they use red poppies to decorate memorials on Anzac Day (so it fits the theme of "floral")
- Fun fact: During the First World War, red poppies were among the first plants to spring up in the devastated battlefields of northern France and Belgium.
- Another fun fact: These red poppies inspired Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae to write the poem In Flanders fields, which is an absolutely beautiful poem, which i included in the layout as well c: (and there are gorgeous song adaptations as well!)
- i genuinely like this layout, and i put a lot of time and effort into making it. so i hope you guys like it! c:

- definitely my least favorite. i kept redo-ing this one because i could figure out what to do haha
- inspired by taylor swift's song "wonderland" off her album 1989. (i swear she shows up in every collection. whoops)
- there's really not much to say about this one heh
- i like how mysterious the image looks...?
- the image kind of reminds me of a cute little country wedding or something haha.
 
 
- again, a very simple layout. but i'm semi-okay with this one haha
- i like the color scheme, and this one is definitely the brightest / most-pastel layout of the group (which is pathetic, since this is the spring / summer collection. whoops)
- i like how simple it is, but i felt very unsure about the layout as a whole. hopefully you guys like it...?
 
- my second-favorite layout in the entire collection, very close behind 'lest we forget'
- it was sort of inspired by this incredible website 
- i genuinely like how modern it looks
- HAHA it barely meets the 'floral' theme. the only reason why i say it counts is because the girl is wearing a flower crown.
- i was slightly inspired by the summer music festivals. think coachella.
- i was also inspired by summer roadtrips, like those basic pictures you always see on tumblr around this time of year.
- i also took this as an opportunity to try a variety of different fonts that i usually don't use, and i had a ton of fun playing around with all of it!
- Fun fact: you know the geometric overlay stuff that is in the layout? Well I didn't photoshop that. I actually coded that whole triangle thing separately, screenshotted it, and then edited the screenshot so there wouldn't be any background LOL
- overall, i really like this layout.
