First design blog

Im going to be honest right now, ive been staring at a blank page for the past 15 mins thinking what do i write? As this is a module related blog i dont quite know how to go about it. I have other blogs but they are personal so i blabber on about random thoughts that no one cares about. So in this one i will talk about my design development, my inspiration, techniques and the moments where i want to rip all the pages out of my sketch book because i hate the theme ive chosen.
So here it goes.
For this module i started off with a completely different mood board to what i have now as it had animals and inky paintings on it. I then started drawing animals and didn't like the idea in the end, i also took into consideration that our module is called 'luxury gift wrap  and my animals were looking more urban outfitters than Harrods. So the following day i found an image of a kitten which i started sketching, i then noticed it had a bow around its neck so i started drawing that more and developing it. I liked the idea so i thought where can you buy bows? a haberdashery of course!  I then rummaged around my room and found some pins, a tape measure, buttons and started drawing things, i decided i like the idea and carried on.
After sketching i decided to take pictures of the buttons i already had and to develop them in photoshop to create a layout and to see clearer where my design is going and what media i am going to use.
I am currently at the stage of choosing colours and layouts as im pretty confident with the imagery.
The image on the left is one of the first experiments ive done on photoshop to see what i think. I like it but i need to change the colours as i think theyre too bright and the buttons need to be more even as the negative space is not equal everywhere. I think my mistake in this one is that the buttons were all one image, instead of each button being a different image/layer. So in the next one ill take each button individually and place them on the background so i have more control of the negative space and layout.
Im quite happy with where im at as i now have a clearer outlook on what im doing.
So right now im going to go and draw loads of buttons from the photos ive taken and photoshop some more!
