Tribal...
| Once I began thinking about tribes I researched by countries or continants with different tribes. Africa, Europe, America, South America and then Asia which brought me to Japan. The Harajuku tribe started in the early 1990's when every Sunday large groups of teens would meet outside of the Harajuku Station in the Shibuya region of Tokyo and dress in many different extravagent styles. |  |
| Gothic Lolita - Knee length dresses, lace, petticoats, stockings and platform shoes are the basis for this sub-style. This is one of the more popular sub cultures of Harajuku tribe dating back to the 1970's. |

Electric...
 My first thought when thinking of Electric was electricity, I then thought of power and lighting. I developed the idea of lighting and settled on neon lights as my source. |

Memories...
While doing my mind map, my first idea was of childhood memories. I developed this into sweets and treats you get as a child and cartoons and films you watch as a child. The one a prefered was the sweets, although they both have similar connections in colour and shapes

| This I feel is the strongest source picture it just gives off that feel of childhood |
