Symposium 2017
Symosium Reflection #1
The first article is called “no logo zone” its really interesting.It talk about how people really get all over the logos and designers of clothes but it really is not worth it and a waste of a ton of money. Also how the designer clothing might be high quality but it’s better to buy something that is gonna last more than 10 washes. That is what happens to designer clothing most of the time it also mentions how people think not wearing designer clothing makes you a basic person but thinking that actually makes you a basic person. The second article is about how fashion is influenced in to young people mostly students for example and they are more fashionable than adults these days. This article named “The effect of fashion on teenagers in school” explains how teenagers are losing their study time and their time in school to read about fashion and trends and be focused on looking the best in school because then they get the attention and become popular between their folks.I never thought about fashion coming to and extent like this where students care about fashion that much and they don't study because they are thinking of other things related to fashion. Then when I think about it everyday at school it's exactly like that and whatever brand you are wearing that is how they judge you and how they think about you and your popularity. We changed our topic once because Ms.Park said it was to simple so we changed it completely because we thought animal cruelty wasn’t going to work and not a very unique topic and that it’s used more often than other topics. So we chose fashion and we haven't really come up with the actual topic but that's the main idea and we haven't gotten our topic approved.We hoped to find information about how fashion reflects on people and how much people care about fashion and what groups of people or ages and why brands aren't the way to go all the time and that's what we found.And lastly,our collaboration is going well it's just that ruben(one of my group members)doesn't really agree with the topic too much but my other group member does but that’s the only thing that isn't going so well but we still does the work.So overall all we are doing very well and we just need to approve our topic and i'm interesting of what I am going to find out while researching.
Symposium Reflection #2
I found out many things about my topic since my research I never knew “fast fashion” could have a negative impact liking pollution because of disposing of clothes that is not trending or in fashion today.My driving question did change so did my generalization but it did work out much better than the last one we had.We decided to do a survey the most difficult part was the perfection of the actual survey the final draft pretty much.We chose it because it fits our topic and asks people what they know about the negative and positive effects and ask what they think about the topic in that perspective. I need to to work quickly and try to make the best of my work and make it symposium worthy.The collaboration is going ok so far and we are working together only sometimes someonedoes a little but more work because we are three people.Overall we are doing well and not behind yet and want to make our poster board look good.
Symposium Reflection #3
I learned that fashion can be very racist or affensive at times and also how they get to become a very good company that people come and buy their product over and over again.We worked good overal some of us did a little more work but overall we all tried our best and finished sympsium together.Our trifold board was meant to be a closet and it looks like one with alot of brands too becuase out topic is also about fast fashion and how use that and in some way pollute the world.Our art piece was a foctory and its polluting the world and also it shows economic and cultural ways to wiht money.I think we are done with our project just need to glue the tag and the ISD.BUt overall we are done and working well.
