Day 6: Materials & Advisor Meeting
Finally got home after lots of roundabout transfers. I took the bus
this morning, so didn't realize the 7 train wasn't running AGAIN. Picked up a cheap pair of black slacks today for the velcro pants
prototype, then headed to Staples and Home Depot to get velcro. Both
were closed by the time I got there since it was Sunday... (and I
thought I could get through the week with no fails). I then decided to
swing by Bed Bath & Beyond to see if they carried velcro strips, but
they only had them in white (I want black). I'll be going into
Manhattan again tomorrow for the velcro. After the shopping, I met up
with my thesis advisor, Kyle, to talk about the presentation of my
project. We came to a consensus that presenting the At Hello
series like The JetBlue Flyer's Collection (thanks Conway!) would probably be the
most appropriate. The Flyer's Collection is an advertising campaign
launched by JetBlue over the holiday season that was built upon a
series of fake products that flyer's of other (more inferior) airlines
might need. Like my idea of having both a gallery and an online
component, The Flyer's Collection included both a fictional online
catalogue/store, and a temporary physical store in NYC's Meatpacking
District. I still have a few product ideas that I want to "visually" realize
before the end of our thing-a-day week. More tomorrow.
