How I do my designs...

Since i haven't really posted many written things on here lately i thought it might be fun to do a quick post with step by step of how i do my polyvore designs. Yes it is basically just putting different items onto a board but i like to make it look like a mini mood board with backgrounds and decorations. I took some photos as i was doing my 'Pink Blossom' one to show how it all comes together after starting with a completely blank canvas. So  lets get to it...

It all starts with deciding on base pieces, like a dress or jeans and a top. So once i've found that i just add it in a find shoes which match eg the brown in these wedges matches the brown in the belt. I tend to go for heels most of the time...

So then i usually add in a picture which somehow links to the outfit i'm creating...here its a blossom tree which looks good with the dress. Also bags and beauty things are added here....

 I carry on adding the makeup and accessories until it looks like a real wearable outfit. Then i put on different blocks of colour which match the items. Sometimes i add a frame to the main section like i did here but usually i leave that part out...

This is where i name my design and add in any text i need. A lot of the time its song lyrics but for this one i decided on 'Pink Blossom' to go with the dress and tree. Also i added some extra background pictures just to make it more interesting. I have to fiddle with the positioning too just because it can look lopsidded or heavy if its balanced wrongly...

This is where the whole thing is saved and given a title which appears above it. Also you add in tags so that if somebody on the site searches for an outfit with something specific such as grey heels, and your design has them in, then it'll be found and seen.

When you click save then you're redirected to this page, your finished, published design. This is what people will see when they view your set, including all other designs, the title and a link to your profile...

If you have your blog, or any other site, and your polyvore linked like i do then the new set should be automatically posted there too. Sometimes its a bit silly and you have to try and manually post it if you want it to show up, which i do. So this is what you see when i post...

I hope that was somewhat interesting or useful to somebody out there. Its pretty easy for me to post things saying go try it, its so much fun, look what i did. But if i don't show you my process then its not helpful to anyone who actually wants to try. Some may not like my sets but i'm pretty proud...atm i have 1,666 views which i think is just crazyyyy. Although i'm not getting as many views on my latest ones so if you could go check them out i'd be really really grateful to you. Thanks for reading...<3
