Graffiti Pieces Painting Love Fashion, Can't Sketch?
I am currently 2 years away from getting my Bachelor in Fashion Merchandising. I'm still in the process of figuring out exactly I would like to end up doing. Right now, I love, and am rather good at, finding random, everyday things that can be great ideas for a fashion piece. For example, a painting at the local museum, or a tree in the park, graffiti on the wall, etc....My problem is, I have all these pictures of great ideas for dresses/outfits, but I can't sketch if my life depended on it. I have all these great ideas in my mind but I can't get it onto paper. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe a computer program for sketching where you don't physically have to draw??? I'll take any suggestions at all........
I suggest you either plan to go into another part of the fashion industry that does not involve the design aspect (such as being a buyer for a store, opening your own boutique, working FOR a designer in marketing or putting together completed pieces, etc.) or bite the bullet and do your best to learn to sketch. There are lots more opportunities in the fashion world than just designing your own line (which would require sketching). Talk to your counsellor and see what other jobs they can suggest. Depending on where you live (NY would be best for opportunities) you could find other jobs that meet exactly what you are good at.
Personally, I think it sounds like you'd make a good buyer. You don't have to sketch but just choose what clothes will be carried for each season at a store, like Nordstrom.
