I had such a vivid dream last night! It will be on my mind all day!
Those of us who are able to dream – and remember them – should treasure them!
There are many artists who use their dreams as inspiration. Many fashion designers get their inspiration from dreams too. What’s so amazing about using a dream for inspiration of your design, is that it is a pure product of your imagination.
Yeondoo Jung a South Korean photographer has a totally different take on the interpretation of dreams into art. One way he uses dreams in his work is by studying images and explanations of children’s dreams to fuel his photography projects.
If he made my dream into a photograph I’d sure be honoured, I doubt it would be as pretty a sight as this one though!
So there you are t-shirt designers. Don’t know what your next t-shirt design will be based on? Try using your dreams as a reference! That’s something we’re all looking to wear- an original t-shirt design!
