The document outlines the initial planning process for a vintage-themed project in Nottingham, England. It begins with mind mapping around interests in vintage clothes, shopping, and items. Wallpaper textures and floral patterns were an initial inspiration. Sketches and mood boards were created showing vintage photos, clothes, and fonts. Research looked at vintage colors, shopping trends, and competitors. The aim was to create a map and leaflet highlighting vintage shops in Nottingham, though a postcard idea was abandoned. Prototypes were made before determining the final outcome.

2. To begin this
project, Nottingham
Loves…Vintage I started
mind mapping of all things
that came to mind. I chose
Vintage due to my
interests in
clothes, shopping and
vintage items.

3. Strangely my starting point was wallpapers. When thinking of the word
vintage one thing that c0omes to mind is florals. It was not just the
flowers that stood out to me when sampling, it was also the textures of
some of them. Not smooth like most of todays wallpapers.

11. The Different Colours Of Vintage
Vintage differs
depending on the
time. Vintage varies
from anything from
the 1920s to the
present day. Colour is
something that
changes with time,
like most things do.black and whitesepia-colour. The
colours I am
considering using
when creating my
product are pasel
colours such, pinks,
blues, yellows and
greens

16. A quick
sketch
The aim is to create a
map of Nottingham
city centre, however
this map like shown
on the left will
indicate where you
find these shops
using icons.

17. Then the idea of making the map into a postcard came to
mind, however I went against this idea as it wasn’t going to have
worked as I first though it would have.

21. Online Research
The following pages show research into online shopping and that second hand
clothing is not just about charity shops now. Everyone is after vintage, there was a
time not long a go where you could buy great items for great prices. However now
the increased demands for vintage items means higher prices. It has also been
found not only charity shops and independent vintage stores are selling these
items, online stores such as ASOS have their own vintage clothing line, ASOS
Marketplace as well as high street shop urban outfitters have a renewal section
meaning more competition than ever.
