One Word: "Blue"

I came across this word as it was chosen from a bag, blind folded. When I received the colour "Blue" I was very happy, as before I got the brief I had an idea on what I wanted to make! I wanted to recreate a 1920s Blue Collar Worker Waistcoat. I wanted to make a men's wear garment to give my portfolio depth and variety. 

I peer assessed the colour "Blue" by asking my peers what they felt/thought when hearing the colour. Some of the answers I was very shocked at, this shows different peoples perception of the colour itself. 

Here are the answers I received:
- The Navy
- Nautical Wear
- Winter
- Sea
- Denim
- Masculine colour
- Colbalt Blue
- Mary/Religious
- Blues Music
- Blueberry
- Blue Collar Worker



After seeing these images, I thought differently about the colour "blue". 

I think it's great that people have different interpretations on the colour itself. 

I like the variety of points I can choose from, as I can go into depth on my project. 

In ways I have had too much choice, but the colour "Blue" is very broad.
