Step 1: Research Your Own Color Wheel

Before you begin making your own color wheel, do some research. You can base your color wheel on the illustrations and information provided in the unit. Your only requirement is to make sure your color wheel contains at least 12 colors, including primary and secondary colors. The remaining six colors will be up to you to provide!

If you wish, you can also do additional online research and look at some more examples.

Step 2: Plan Your Own Color Wheel

Depending on whether you want to work digitally or by hand, plan your color wheel by sketching on paper or by working in a word processing document.

Step 3: Make Your Own Color Wheel

Then, use the different colors in your word processing software or your art supplies to create your color wheel. To finish your wheel, write the names of the colors you include on your color wheel. You may create your own names for colors if you’d like!

Step 4: Present Your Own Color Wheel

Finally, conduct an informal presentation of your color wheel to classmates, friends, or family. Explain the difference between primary and secondary colors. Tell your audience which colors on the wheel appeal to you most and why.

Step 1: Select and Identify Fabrics

You’ll need to find at least eight widely differing articles of clothing and determine the kind of fabrics used to make those garments, or find at least eight widely differing types of fabric. You do not need to own the fabrics though! So you can do this activity at home, in a clothing store, or in a fabric store. If your family tends toward T-shirts and jeans, you’ll probably want to venture out to where you can find a wide variety of fabrics.

Check the content labels that are either in the garments or on the ends of the bolts of fabric.

Step 2: Describe and Analyze Fabrics

Fill out the information on the chart provided below. Provide this information:

• Identify and describe each fabric’s content and characteristics, such as weight, texture, and stretchiness. Is a particular fabric natural or manufactured?

• Identify and describe how each fabric was constructed. For example, are any of the fabrics knitted, woven, or tufted?

• Use what you have learned in the unit to analyze the pros and cons of each fabric. Is a particular fabric easy to care for? What could a designer use it for?

Interview a Fashion Professional

Required Materials

• Notebook, audio recorder, or video recorder (optional)

• Person who works in the fashion industry to interview

Step 1: Review and Select an Interview Subject

One of the best ways to find out what the fashion industry is really like is to interview someone in it. If needed, search the internet or ask friends, relatives, your instructor or someone else you trust to find the name and contact information of someone who works in the fashion industry. This can be:

• A designer you have read about or someone who works for that designer

• Someone who works as a buyer, marketer, entrepreneur, or in some other job that interests you

• Someone in your community who is a salesperson, tailor, seamstress, store owner, or in some other fashion-related job that interests you

• Someone who is a member of a professional or youth organization related to fashion

You may need to find the names and contact information of two or three people before you find one who is willing and able to be interviewed.

Step 2: Draft Interview Questions Based on Your Research

Use the internet to find out what the typical job duties are of a person in that line of work. Consider what you know about the person—their geographic location, accomplishments, or personal style. Then draft four to six questions to ask the person. These may include:

• What is a typical day like for you?

• What are the best and worst parts of your job?

• What education, training, or experience would you recommend to someone who is just starting out in the fashion world?

The interview may stray beyond these questions, which is fine. But you want to be sure you have relevant, well-thought-out questions ready so you can avoid wasting the person’s time.

Step 3: Conduct the Interview

You may conduct your interview in person, by phone, by email, or by text—whichever works best for you and the interviewee. If you want to take notes or record the interview session, ask the interviewee’s permission first. Because your interviewee’s time is valuable, try to limit the interview to 20 minutes or less.

At the end of the interview, thank the person for their time and information. Follow up with a thank-you note.

Step 4: Summarize the Results

Try to complete your summary as soon as possible after the interview so the details will be fresh in your mind. Once you have reflected on the conversation and reviewed any notes, audio, or video, write down the interview in question-and-answer format. Put each question in boldface, and then record the answer under each question in lightface. Include at least three questions and answers. You can delete any stray “ums” and “uhs” the person says.

Step 1: Select Your Ideal Design Career

Now that you have had a chance to consider various careers in design, take a moment to consider which one is right for you by writing a blog post or journal entry. Review the lessons and determine which of the careers described best fits your interest in the design industry. If the career you have in mind is not mentioned in the unit, you can still write about it. Just be sure to include details about that career and the talents you have that make it a good fit. Also include details about job responsibilities and salary. You may need to do research on the internet to find facts and details.

Step 2: Describe Your Ideal Day at Work

Sometimes envisioning a goal can help you reach that goal. In the second paragraph, describe what an ideal day at work would look like in your design career. What skills and talents would you use? What difficulties might you overcome?

Step 3: Explain How You’ll Get There

In the third paragraph, describe what steps you can take, both right now and in the future, to achieve the career you want. Is there a youth organization related to fashion that you could join or start? Is there a professional organization that could provide you with information? Is there a college major you could pursue or a training program you could sign up for? What about a job, internship, or apprenticeship? Look for local education programs or organizations that could help you, and list whichever ones you are able to find.

Or you might explain how others are likely to react to it based on the psychology of color.
