First, I just want to say that my thesis has come along way, every meeting has made me dive deeper and has created a new vision on what my thesis has become. Every feedback that I have gotten over my thesis has been very helpful, I also think that people do see the vision that I want to create with my thesis and are very excited. My steps will be more storyboarding ideas on how the prototype will flow on Figma. Like I said, I want to produce more work rather than research, also doing user testing. Overall the feedback is really helpful and insightful, I can’t wait to see the next steps in my thesis.

70’s – Flare Jeans were popular because it enabled movement with the music freely.

Today – many use flare jeans as a way to show off their curves.

    – Tie Dye became popular because it connected to the “Hippie movement” (concerts, protest/rallies).

Today – Tie Dye is mostly shown on hoodies or sometimes at worn at major indie concerts.

80’s – Spandex was comfortable, stretchy and “cool”

        – Leg Warmer popular because it kept dancers legs warm

90’s – Plaid was a well known style for richer teenagers.

Plaid has always been popular since the 90’s, worn as skirts or a jacket with overalls.

        – Bomber jacket that used to be worn by military air forces became popular do to celebrities. Ex Tom Cruise “Top Gun”

Today- Bomber jackets can be seen as a popular item worn by young male athletes or just as a regular men’s jacket.

During this meeting, Sarah and I talked about what types of projects./artworks I did during my bachelor’s. As well as talking about overall my interests. My first idea was to create a pixel game that incorporated the Low Res Program (teachers, maybe some students). Maybe something similar to the “Shovel Knight Dig” game.

Game Programs: 

Aesprite – create sprites

GDevelop 5 – create sprites and construct the game.

Sarah gave me ideas on one of my interests in fashion and opened new ideas that I could collaborate with fashion and pixel art.
