 The design elements and fashion principles are properly applied and effectively used in the above example. A good design have to consider the aesthetic values as well as the functional purposes of the final products: Perfect combination of texture, colour, line, silhouette and the correct use of balance, proportion, colour arrangement, repetition, rhythm and radiation. All the elements work together to create a harmonious, consistent visual effect as well as practical functions.

The informal balance and gradation effect is well demonstrated here, the intense dark

 grey border balances the larger, less imposing light grey area. The use of flow lines rhythm is also successful, achieved pleasing visual effects. Rhythm in design results from repeating line and masses. The flow line rhythm and the gradual change of colour create a successful and harmonious combination.

The pleasing proportion of all parts is well achieved in areas such as the size relationship between shoulder, collar, bottom line and body length. A sense of harmony is found with the design elements and principles within the whole design.

‘Creative thoughts’ can be regarded as an establishment of new mental patterns that are inspired by unanswered questions and redefinitions of values or relationships.  Exceeding the dictionary definition of “the ability to create”, Edward de Bono suggests that “being creative means to bring into being something that was not there before”.

Creativity is regarded as a thinking process that is aimed at originality, generating ideas or devising new solutions for old problems. Creativity makes unusual associations or finds new ways of looking at things, avoids routines, breaks rules, ta Creativity is not limited to desi s, artists, teachers, mana
