This video is an exaggerated reflection of our society today and what's coming next. In the video, there are people who plays the role of furniture, human taxi, traffic lights, and even a rug - they are all inanimate objects. In the future - even now, the world is overpopulated and the job openings couldn't keep up with the increasing number of unemployment. So how to fix this problem? By inventing new jobs, ridiculous and inappropriate ones included. That's why this video is quite scary, because people are crazy. People are willing to do anything to resolve any problem. In the future, these kinds of jobs might be normal, but now it's considered as nonsense.

decide whether the following is True or false
T/F

It explores a devaluing of the human experience

Dehumanizing roles are becoming more commonplace.

It’s a parody of our current society.

Only white people have jobs in the future.

It’s about the future where overpopulation leads to a surplus of labor.

We are all somebody’s coat hanger, no matter how successful we become.

Human are forced to do things beneath them and its considered normal.

There are people doing far worse jobs than you.

All jobs are just meaningless exercises which humiliate us.

The future is bleak. Give up now.

If you're like me, you spend a lot of time trying to find the perfect pattern, the finest font, and the coolest color combo. What if you could bookmark one page that contained all of the design resources and references you'll need? That's this page.

# data[].attributes.body
This video shows me one guy explain "what is design?" But he wanted to be funny when he explains that our life is symmetrical. I think that he wants to explain that the life of a designer is trying to understand some people.

# data[].attributes.body
This guy is mostly making fun of designers. And the sad thing is, he's right. He's using some overly verbose language to describe things that he wants to deliver and in my opinion, he's imitating the way "real" designers communicate with other people. What do I mean by "real" ones? Because the real designer is someone with passion, not just like kids that go to design school to look cool. Real designers are pure weird, but in a good way. They're unique and talented. They're considered weird because not all people can understand what they're saying and what they're creating. They have their own mindset, and that's very valuable because not all people have it, even people with passion in art.

The purpose of this video is to make fun of the way designers communicate. Why do designers use funny language to describe something that people consider normal? It's just stuff to sell and to make money, that's the reality. If you want to make design as a living you have to make what people or the majority wants, not what you want. But some people are making stuff they want to make, and they made it from passion and to obtain that unexplainable satisfaction that you get when you finished something. And it's their choice to use some funny language, it's their creation. You can't judge people by the way they speak, because people have their own way to communicate. Designers just stand out more than other people.

# data[].attributes.body
Designers are a funny bunch.

They play around with colour and pattern, experiment with light and trying quirky variations all day long.

However despite this, they are a unnecessarily serious group. Often designers take themselves too seriously. They fancy themselves to be visual poets, philosophers and intellectual martyrs.

Perhaps it's the long hours and insufficient pay. Perhaps it's the over caffeination mixed with being too particular and pedantic.

Designers like to present themselves as the saviors of our society. They wish to make the world more beautiful and perhaps more efficient. they believe that this in turn will make society work better and behave in a more civilized way. Designers are trying to save us from ugly.

Design 101
-

Designed by robbyprada

Composition and layout

Composition is the arrangement of design elements that form a whole image. A successful composition attracts the viewer and guides their eye across the design. In visual art, you might hear this referred to as "form." In graphic design, it's often called layout. Composition is made up of a number of different visual design elements, including balance, proximity, alignment, repetition, contrast and white space.

Balance

This isn't your ability to walk a straight line after three beers. In design, balance involves the placement of elements on the page so that the text and graphic elements are evenly distributed. There are three ways to achieve balance: symmetrically, asymmetrically and radially.

Symmetrical

Symmetry is achieved when all design elements are equal on both sides of a central line

Asymmetrical

When graphics and text are not equal on both sides of a central line, a design is said to be asymmetrical. In the example above, there is still balance, but there are graphics on one side and text on the other

Radial

A radial design is one in which elements radiate from a central point, creating balance.

Proximity

The way in which design elements are grouped or spaced on a page is called proximity. Great design groups like elements together.

Alignment

Alignment is the position of text or graphics, whether left, right, centered or full justified..

Repetition

To maintain a unified look, designers repeat elements throughout a design. (Repetition is also defined as the number of times your toddler asks for a cookie.)

Contrast

Contrast is achieved by including elements within the design that look measurably different from one another. A designer may use color, shape, texture, size or typeface to create contrast.

White space

White space-sometimes called negative space-is the part of the design that is unmarked by imagery or text. It's also what Midwesterners call their depressing, winter landscape.

Rule of thirds

The rule of thirds is a technique that designers use to determine focal point. Using a grid of three rows and columns, focal points are indicated where the lines converge. Designers use this as a guide to determine where to place important elements in their design.

Grid

A grid is a series of intersecting vertical, horizontal, angular or curved lines used to organize graphic elements on a page, as well as in relation to one another.

Hierarchy

In design, hierarchy is the organization of elements by level of importance. Newspapers, magazine spreads and movie posters are good examples of the use of design hierarchy. Headlines (also called display type) are usually placed at the top, while subheads and body copy fall underneath.

Scale

Scale is the size of an object in relation to another object (not that thing in your bathroom that you curse at each morning). Scale can be used to create interest and grab a viewer's attention.

Thumbnail sketch

When conceptualizing, a designer will often create small, rough drawings-thumbnail sketches-to explore many ideas.

Mock-up

A mock-up is a real or digital model used to test early design ideas and see how they could look in the real world.

Photography & Artwork
-

Resolution

The detail of an image based on the number of pixels is known as resolution. An image looks clearer when it has a higher resolution.

DPI

DPI stands for "dots per inch," which is a measure of a printer's quality. For high-quality printing, 300dpi is recommended. For example, a 300dpi image at 1200×1800 pixels will become as a 4×6 inch print.

PPI

PPI stands for "pixels per inch," which is a measure of pixel density used by electronic image devices. You'll likely see this used with scanners, cameras, TVs or monitors. Learn more about the difference between DPI and PPI .

Bleed

Sounds pretty gruesome, but bleed is when a design actually extends past its printed edge so there's no chance of white borders when it's trimmed down after printing.

Trim

Trim size is the final size of a printed piece after it has been trimmed from its page. Trimming is executed along crop marks that show where to cut.

Pixels

Pixels are square-shaped dots that make a digital raster image (and a really bad movie starring Adam Sandler.) The more pixels an image has, the higher its resolution.

Crop

A designer can cut out or crop unnecessary parts of an image to improve framing, highlight a specific subject or alter the image's aspect ratio.

Stock photo/art

Stock photos and art are licensed images created by a third party. Using stock images saves on the cost of a having a professional photo shoot. Check out some of our favorite places to get good, free stock imagery .

Typography
-

Font types

Most fonts fall into one of four different font types.

Serif

Serifs are the small lines and hooks at the end of the strokes in some letters.

Sans serif

Sans means "without." A sans serif font has no serifs.

Script

Script typefaces use a flowing, cursive stroke.

Slab serif

Slab serif is distinguished by thick, block-like serifs.

Components of type

All fonts are made of the same basic components.

Ascender

An ascender is the part of a lowercase letter that rises above the main body of the letter. Think "b" or "h."

Baseline

All font characters sit on the baseline, the lowest point of all uppercase letters and most lowercase letters.

Descender

A descender is the part of a lowercase letter that descends below the main body of the letter. Think "g" or "p."

Median/x-height

The median or x-height is where most lower-case letters should reach their maximum height. It is set from the height of the x in a font.

Font spacing

The vertical and horizontal spacing of a font is often altered to change its appearance.

Kerning

Kerning is the adjustment of space between pairs of letters in the same word. Certain pairs of letters create awkward spaces, and kerning adds or subtracts space between them to create more visually appealing and readable text.

Leading

Pronounced "ledding," leading (also known as line-height) is the space between two lines of text.

Tracking

Not to be confused with kerning, tracking is the adjustment of space for groups of letters and entire blocks of text. Tracking affects every character in the selected text and is used to change its overall appearance.

Font case

Typically, characters are available in two forms.

Uppercase

The large, capital letters of a typeface are uppercase. They're also used by your mom to accidentally YELL AT YOU WHEN SHE TEXTS YOU.

Lowercase

Lowercase refers to the small letters of a typeface.

Small caps

Small caps-or small capitals-are uppercase characters that are the same height as lowercase letters. They are used to prevent capitalized words from appearing too large on the page. Want an example? Open just about any book and look at the opening words of a chapter.

Font style

Beyond spacing and case, fonts can also be altered by scale, weight and style.

Point size

Point size is the size of text. There are approximately 72 (72.272) points in one inch.

Font weight

Font weight specifies the boldness of a font.

Italics

When characters slope to the right , they're in italics, a visual technique used to draw attention to specific words or sentences within a paragraph.

Widows & orphans

Widows and orphans make designers very sad. That's because they are poor, lonely words at the beginning or end of a paragraph left dangling at the top or bottom of a column and separated from the rest of the paragraph.

Lorem ipsum

Lorem ipsum (also known as dummy text) is used as a placeholder that will be swapped out later with actual copy. The Lorem ipsum text comes from "The Extremes of Good and Evil," written by Cicero in 45 BCE.

Color theory

The study of how colors make people feel and their effects on a design is known as color theory. Color theory is used to explore the best types of colors to work in different design instances-for example, choosing a pastel scheme for a website that needs to feel soft, or picking red and yellow for a magazine ad that needs to evoke energy.

Hue, tint, tone and shade

Hue is pure color. Tint is a hue with white added. Tone is a hue with gray added. Shade is a hue with black added.

Saturation

Saturation is defined by the intensity of color.

Palette

A palette is the range of colors used in a design. These are colors that work well together and are often aesthetically pleasing. Designers will defines a palette for a project to create consistency and evoke a specific feeling.

Warm and cool colors

Warm colors can be found on one half of the color wheel (reds, oranges, yellows and pinks). Cool colors occupy the other half (blues, greens and purples).

Monochromatic

A monochromatic color palette uses one single color.

Grayscale

A monochromatic color palette based on gray is called grayscale.

Analogous

Colors that are adjacent to one another on the color wheel (i.e. red violet, red and red orange) are analogous.

Complementary

Complementary colors are opposites on the color wheel. This relationship will produce visual tension and "shock."

Triadic

Triadic colors are three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel. One colors dominates, the second supports, and the third accents.

Gradient

Gradient is a gradual change from one color to another. (For example, blue transitioning gradually to green).

Opacity

Opacity is synonymous with non-transparency. The more transparent an image, the lower its opacity.

CMYK

CMYK is a 4-color printing process made up of cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black). CMYK colors in print will never appear as vibrant as RGB colors on screen because CMYK creates color by adding color together (making images darker) while RGB colors come from light.

RGB

RGB stands for red, green and blue, the three colors of light typically used to display images on a digital screen.

Pantone

Developed by Pantone Corporation , a professional color company, Pantone is the most widely used, proprietary color system for blending colors. The system includes colors that cannot be mixed in CMYK.

Web & digital
-

Web page elements

Most web page designs include combination of these elements.

Header

Design elements repeated at the top of every page is called a header.

Navigation & navigation bar

Navigation is a roadmap to the most important parts of a website and should be visually consistent across all pages. A navigation bar is a set of links repeated on each page that often includes links to pages like "About us", "Products," "Contact us" and "Testimonials."

Breadcrumb trail

Breadcrumbs are navigation elements that generally appear near the top of a page to show users the section hierarchy of the current page.

Body text

Body text is the main written content of a page.

Links

Any word or an image can be a link that can take users to another page.

Sidebar

A sidebar is the left or righthand column of a page typically used for either vertical navigation links or advertising. It may also contain site search, subscription links (RSS, newsletters, etc.) or social network buttons.

Banner

Typically located at the top of a page or in a sidebar, banners are advertisements that link to other websites.

Footer

Design elements repeated at the bottom of every page is called a footer.

HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. This is the standard coding language for websites that creates all of the fonts, colors, graphics and links you see online.

Landing page

A landing page is a single page that appears in response to search engine result. Landing pages are used for lead generation.

User interface (UI)

User interface is the design of applications for computers, mobile devices and other devices to maximize their usability and the user experience.

Wireframe

Basic images that display the essential functions of a website are known as wireframes. Designers use wireframes to show how a page or site works.

Image file formats
-

An image file format is a standardized way to encode art, graphics and photos digitally.

Vector graphics

Vector graphics are small graphics that use math to display images. They can be enlarged without losing quality and are essential for cross-platform designs (i.e. billboards, business cards, etc.).

AI

AI stands for Adobe Illustrator document. This is a file format developed by Adobe Systems to represent single-page vector designs.

EPS

EPS stands for Encapsulated Post Script. This is a resizable file format that is commonly used for vector designs. Due to its high quality, it's commonly used with print elements such as logos, business cards or brochures.

PDF

A PDF is a Portable Document Format developed by Adobe that can be universally downloaded and viewed by any computer. PDFs are most suitable for sharing previews of work and are universally viewable.

Raster graphics

Raster graphics are composed of pixels on a grid, where each pixel is assigned a color value. They are good for assigning special effects, color correction and manipulating photos. They are resolution-dependent, which means that images cannot be enlarged without degrading their quality.

GIF

GIF or Graphics Interchange Format is a raster file format that supports animation and transparency. GIFs can only display up to 256 colors, allowing for very small file sizes. (PS: It's pronounced, "JIF" as opposed to the widely-accepted pronunciation, "GIF," according to GIF creator, Steve Wilhite.)

JPEG

Joint Photographic Electronic Group is also known as JPEG, the most widely used raster file type for web-based designs. JPEGs are compressed files that load quickly. You'll typically see them used for emails, banner ads, online photos, and pretty much anything else online. Unlike GIFs, they cannot have a transparent background (a white background will be added automatically).

PNG

PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics, a web-based format that does not lose quality when compressed. PNG files were created to improve on the quality of GIF files.

PSD

PSD or Photoshop Document is the uncompressed working raster image file created by designers in Adobe Photoshop.

TIFF

TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format, a common format for exchanging raster images between applications. TIFF produces a higher quality image than a JPEG or PNG, and is widely used among publishing industries and photographers. Don't confuse it with a "tiff" or a "rift," which happens when you send your designer eight rounds of revisions.

Logo types
-

All logos are built out of typography, shapes and/or images, and typically fit into one of these six standard . Each will give your brand or business a different feel. These six types can also be combined with one another to create even more unique logos.

Abstract mark

An abstract mark is a logo that uses the emotive qualities of color and form to convey your brand. Instead of being a recognizable image like an apple or a chicken, abstract marks use shapes to represent your business.

Emblem

Emblem logos uses frames and shapes to enclose the company or organization name. Think badges, seals and crests.

Lettermark

Lettermark logos feature one or more stylized letters (for example, a company's initials) to identify the brand. Famous lettermark logos include those for IBM, CNN, HP and HBO.

Pictorial mark or symbol

Pictorial marks and symbols are non-abstract, visual icons that represent your company name or service. You can see this with the Apple logo, the Twitter bird and the Target bullseye.

Mascot

Mascot logos rely on a character or brand spokesperson to represent a business. Famous mascots include Colonel Sanders, the Kool-Aid Man and Mr. Peanut.

Wordmark

A wordmark relies on custom typographic treatment of text to illustrate a brand. Think VISA, Google or Coca-Cola.

Manifest of wanted:

The main ideia of wanted is about the mythology of Australia. Because we believe that our brand it is not only t-shirts, is more than a simple cloth from a factory, there is more to us than just the product. Because when you are wearing a product ours, you are one of us, you are part of a Tribe of original people.

Everything we do is bound by one simple thought: your conquest is our ambition. Your defeat spurs us on to be better.

The wanted wants to be part of your community. Because when the wanted was born we were a group of friends that only wanted to make our own  t-shirts.

It was this group of friends that wanted to show the world that if you want to change your life you can. We only want to help you if you need it. Welcome to the wanted. We are more than family we are The Wanted. I will you ask one question, What do you want?, I want the wanted.

Even though 3D-printed haute couture garments have been gracing the catwalks, the real breakthroughs in printed clothing will come from more practical and subversive quarters, reports Claire Barrett in this article for our one-off magazine Print Shift. Above image is by Petrovsky & Ramone.
Despite resistance, 3D printing is infiltrating the world of fashion - and it's tech-savvy youngsters who are setting the pace.
"It's funny," laughs fashion designer Iris van Herpen, "I was raised without television, we didn't have a computer and I think we were the last people to get the internet." Today, van Herpen is the poster girl for 3D printing in the fashion industry. She creates incredible designs that have had Björk and Lady Gaga's stylists reaching for the phone.

Van Herpen was intuitively drawn to 3D printing. "Previously, I'd have something in my head that was three-dimensional, but first I'd have to translate it into a two-dimensional format, such as a drawing, in order to present it," she says. "That way of working feels really old-school. With 3D printing, it was the first time I could immediately translate the 3D image I had in my mind, first to a 3D computer model, and then into actual three dimensionality using the printer."

Computers also offered van Herpen a level of complexity that would be otherwise unachievable. Her inaugural 3D-printed range, Crystallization, was the first-ever catwalk collection to feature 3D printing. This collaboration with London-based architect Daniel Widrig was launched in 2010 and produced a series of dramatic, sculptural pieces that were closer to body armour than clothing (one of the collection's pieces is featured on the cover of this magazine).

Widrig and van Herpen collaborated again in 2011 on the Escapism collection, which this time featured delicate, coral-like forms that were moderately more wearable than their previous work.

But van Herpen's latest collection, Voltage - shown in January this year - makes real headway towards wearability. The designer worked with Belgium-based 3D-printing company Materialise to develop an innovative new textile that is being billed as the first printable material that is flexible and durable enough to be worn - and to be put in the washing machine.

Called TPU 92A-1, the material was used to print an outfit that van Herpen designed in collaboration with Austrian architect Julia Koerner. A black lacy number, the dress looks like a fine spider's web woven over the body and appears at first sight as if it is made from delicate textile fibres rather than laser-sintered plastic.

"I wanted people to think the dress was woven or handmade," says van Herpen. "But if you look closely, you couldn't have done this by hand. It would have been impossible and that's why I used 3D printing."

This kind of collaboration between fashion designers and the materials industry will be essential in future, says Mark Miodownik, professor of materials and society at University College London. "Designers will become materials experts, and vice versa. No one has thought about that too deeply yet, but it's important."

"It takes time," says van Herpen. "You can't design new materials for every season, but if you're at least able to create something new every one or two years, then you have more control of your design process, as you're actually giving direction to the material."

Van Herpen's Voltage collection included a second 3D-printed outfit that involved a similarly novel fabric. In collaboration with architect and MIT professor Neri Oxman, she produced a skirt and cape covered in a texture resembling clusters of seashells that was printed using Stratasys' Objet Connex multi-material printing technology. The garments consist of two entirely different materials, one hard and one soft, that were printed together to provide different performance characteristics.

For the first time, van Herpen was able to specify flexibility within her garments. "We could say, 'I want the arms really flexible, but then the middle not so flexible and the end really flexible again,'" she explains.

With Oxman's expertise, van Herpen could also control the colouring by including it within the digital file, rather than adding it at a later stage.
Footwear designers in particular get excited about 3D printingPhilip Delamore
Other designers and their celebrity clients are starting to experiment with 3D-printed outfits. In March, the burlesque performer Dita Von Teese modelled a floor-length 3D-printed gown by New York designer Michael Schmidt, who had collaborated on it with architect Francis Bitonti. Laser-sintered by Shapeways, the garment is constructed of 17 meshed pieces that flex to allow movement. The elements were hand-linked together, then polished, sprayed black and finished with 12,000 black Swarovski crystals.

It wasn't the first time manufacturer Shapeways appeared in the fashion press: in 2011 the company printed what was billed as the world's first entirely 3D-printed, ready-to-wear garment. The N12 bikini, designed by Continuum Fashion, can be purchased through Shapeways' website for $300. The bikini is made up of tiny inflexible parts that are laser-sintered in nylon and joined by nylon springs that allow it to flex.

While the catwalk has been relatively slow to embrace 3D printing, designers of accessories such as shoes and jewellery have been quicker on the uptake. "They're much closer to product design and architecture, both of which have a long history of using this technology," says Philip Delamore, director of the Digital Fashion Studio at the London College of Fashion. "Footwear designers, in particular, get really excited about 3D printing because it means they can offer something truly unique. For example, they don't have to buy an off-the-shelf heel."

Last year, three London College of Fashion MA students - Hoon Chung, Kerrie Luft and Ross Barber - produced 3D-printed shoes that were worn down the catwalk at their graduation show. "It was exciting," says Delamore. "The interest was phenomenal."

Indeed van Herpen collaborated with Dutch shoe company United Nude to create 3D-printed shoes featuring a dramatic curved heel for her 2011 Capriole collection.

Jewellery designer Silvia Weidenbach, a recent graduate of the Royal College of Art, originally trained in traditional silversmithing but discovered 3D printing during her MA degree. With limited computer skills, the key to her accessing this technology was her discovery of the "haptic arm". The device is an articulated limb that allows the user to manipulate 3D files on screen as if they were physical objects. As the user manipulates a tool mounted on the end of the arm, the movement is captured and translated to the computer screen.

This meant Weidenbach could push and pull the arm as though she was working with clay. "I could be really wild. There was no gravity and I directly got feedback," she says.

For Weidenbach, the additional attraction of 3D printing was that she could make one-off pieces. Thus it was a much quicker way of working. Her laser-sintered Fractal Invention collection went on to win the Jerwood Makers Open prize last year. Because the jewellery is made from flexible nylon, the gemstones cleverly click in rather than requiring any setting.

Designer Ron Arad is also using this technology to produce accessories. Arad was among the first product designers to experiment with 3D printing when he created his Not Made By Hand, Not Made in China collection of jewellery, vessels and sculpted objects back in 2000, before it became a viable method of producing products. But last year, Arad launched a range of sunglasses for PQ Eyewear that are laser-sintered in one piece with flexible joints instead of hinges.
The biggest developments have been in sportswearCharlie Porter
The ease with which 3D printing allows easy customisation of products means it could be ideal for the fashion industry, where every customer has a unique shape and differing tastes. Yet despite that synergy, the technology has several hurdles to overcome before it is widely utilised. The biggest is that the fashion industry is "not very computerised," according to designer Janne Kyttanen of Freedom of Creation.

"Fashion designers focus on the material - they feel it, they look at how it drapes and how it moves with the motion of the body," says Kyttanen. "But now we're taking away this element of their work, so they need to change their thinking to 'How is it going to come out of the machine? How is it going to function?'" Rather than embrace these issues, Kyttanen believes the industry has chosen to ignore them.

Another big barrier is the limited palette of available materials. "3D printing wasn't designed for designers - it was designed for engineers," says London College of Fashion's Delamore. "Primarily, it came from the car and aerospace industries, and the materials were developed for engineering applications. Designers are always inventive in terms of picking up new technologies and playing with them, but 3D printing uses materials that were meant for other purposes."

He adds: "You could say that until [a 3D-print manufacturer] thinks with a designer's perspective about the materials we actually want to make things in, we'll continue down our current path."

There are also generational issues at work. 3D technology allows greater freedom for young designers, who are able to produce runs of a few units rather than thousands, realising designs that, previously, would only ever have existed on paper. "Five years ago, most students arrived with no idea of what 3D printing was," says Delamore. "Now they see it as another tool."

It's enterprising, up-and-coming designers such as these that Charlie Porter, men's fashion critic for the Financial Times, believes will kick-start a change within the industry. This group has a different notion of what constitutes great fashion design. "Over the past few years, one of the biggest developments has been in the area of sportswear - in really unglamorous things like trainers, things that aren't necessarily viewed as 'fashion'," says Porter. "Young designers in London are still making things by hand, but the thing they're interested in is sportswear. They're not into tailoring."
Clothing is still manufactured in two dimensions, but fashion is three-dimensionalChris Sanderson
In March, sports brand Nike released the first commercial sportswear product to include 3D-printed elements. Its Vapor Laser Talon American football boots are fitted with a laser-sintered footplate and studs. Using 3D-printing technology meant Nike was able to prototype the boot and make alterations in a much shorter timeframe than normal - it allows design updates to be made in days rather than months. The new boot is significantly lighter than previous examples and has made a significant dent in the "40 yard dash" time, the standard measure used by scouts to assess an athlete's speed and ability."3D printing will probably infiltrate fashion through streetwear rather than haute couture," says Porter, "because [high-end] fashion isn't looking for something to replace what's there at the moment."

Shoppers may not be ready for printed clothes either, says Delamore. "Designers are creating iconic museum pieces, but it's not yet a consumer-level technology," he says. "We're used to wearing natural materials, and even though we do wear nylon and polyester in our clothes, the type of drape and feel and quality that we'd expect from something that's been 3D-printed is a long way off."

Delamore thinks developments in bioprinting - where living tissue like human skin and organs are 3D-printed - offer greater promise. "Really exciting things are happening around medical and biomaterials," he enthuses. "Perhaps these advances will be picked up and brought into the fashion world. I'd imagine that if you get into printing protein and things like that, printing silks and those sorts of materials would be the next step."

Chris Sanderson, strategy and insight director at the Future Laboratory, thinks the potential for 3D printing is huge but believes it goes hand in hand with other 3D technologies like 3D weaving and 3D knitting - where fabric is woven or knitted in the round to create tubes of fabric, rather than as flat pieces.

3D technology will become relevant to the fashion industry when it realises that it "gives [them] an opportunity to work with the human body in a very, very different way, and one that most of them aren't really used to," Sanderson says. "Most of our clothing is still manufactured and produced in two dimensions. But fashion is about three dimensions. It gets interesting when something is made to fit the human body."

what does this article demonstrate about the brands business strategy?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In our long-running series, "How I'm Making It," we talk to people making a living in the fashion industry about how they broke in and found success.
Bobby Kim and his business partner Ben Shenassafar met at law school before they launched streetwear brand The Hundreds back in 2003. "It wasn't about running for office or anything like that on the government level, but being an activist," says Kim on why he decided to study law. "I wanted to break shit up from the inside, because I can't do it being a punk, so let me get in and do it that way." This outlook is not unlike how he approached the streetwear world in the first place, which was by starting a blog - during the early days of Blogspot - to write about up-and-coming names in skate, hip-hop and design that generally make up streetwear's subculture. "My blog opened that world up, and I just started broadcasting every day from our neighborhood in Fairfax," remembers Kim.

Now 14 years later, Kim's strategy remains the same as he launches his new women's line, Jennifer. The brand debuted at the end of last year, and Kim aims to provide a platform for the (famous) female role models in his life, whether it's having Jessica Alba consult on the fit of Jennifer's garments - hoodies and T-shirts so far - or having Lena Dunham contribute to the website's blog. "It's not really me on there talking about what I think; I'm here to listen," says Kim, in hopes that his following will listen as well. "This is a process for me, too. I want to level the playing field. I want there be a more equality when it comes to my world and how they view women, so Jennifer is helping that process."

We caught up with Kim to chat about what it was like like launching The Hundreds during the early aughts, how that compares to debuting Jennifer 14 years later and what streetwear means to him.
How did you launch The Hundreds?
We started in 2003 and I was really inspired by Supreme, Stussy, Alife - a lot of the New York brands in the late '90s. But I wanted to do that in LA. I felt like a lot of the attitude with streetwear at the time was very exclusive, which made it cool, but also was not really my personality. I'm more inclusive; I believe in community. I want to share things that I like instead of holding it for myself to make myself look cool. So I wanted to talk about A Bathing Ape or the crazy Air Force 1s that I picked up in Tokyo and share that with people.

The internet facilitated that because of my blog, and a lot of people wanted to learn about this underground world because up until that moment, streetwear had been very closed off and clandestine. My blog opened that world up, and that helped to uplift The Hundreds as well. It became more of a worldwide global streetwear brand, and we rode a lot of early success of that trend exploding in the late 2000s. Where we're at now in 2017 - The Hundreds has been around for 14 years; in streetwear, that's like 300 years - we're kind of like a heritage brand in this space, which is totally fine with me. I love that. I think that's great.
Do you think your blog helped build a better, transparent relationship with your customers?
Yeah. I wanted to do that, too, because the brands that I admired when I was growing up were Stussy, Mossimo, X-Large. These brands were all very cool but I didn't know anything about the founders or the people designing the clothes. I was wearing it, but I didn't know, like, 'What do you stand for politically? What music are you listening to? What did you eat today?' These are actual things I want to know about whoever I'm supporting. I don't want to be a walking billboard for someone I don't support. It's a very punk rock ideal, and it was because I grew up in that scene. In the punk rock world, you can share the stage with the singer; you can jump up, grab the mic and sing along; you can hang out with a band backstage, really got to know them as people. How do I create a brand like that? My customers can feel like they're part of it. They're involved in the process and they know who I am and what I represent. Whether I'm for it or against it, they know where I stand with everything.

Thank God the blog world came around. I'd already been blogging for a few years and built a little bit of a following when we launched The Hundreds. So when we launched the brand I was just like, 'This is as important as the T-shirt.' Really, you buy the T-shirt and in the bag, we would write 'TheHundreds.com' on them. When you bought the T-shirt, you'd visit the website and it would tell you the story of the T-shirt. 'Hey, man, I made this T-shirt, this is why I made it and this is how I'm feeling about life right now.' When you wore it, it wasn't just another T-shirt, and that's how we sold it, too. We'd go to stores and they were like, 'Well, we've seen a million T-shirt companies.' This was when American Apparel was blowing up and everyone was starting a T-shirt brand. I'm like, 'It's not just a T-shirt brand. You have to go to our website.' They're like, 'A website! That's so dorky! The internet? Who's on the internet?' And I'm like, 'I'm telling my story there every day!' That was what helped open up that communication between me and the customer.
Why do you think The Hundreds has been able to stick around for so long?
I get tired of companies. I get tired of products. But I don't really get tired of people. That's the same thing with The Hundreds. At the end of the day, our customers connected to us as people and they're interested in hearing like, 'Oh, Bobby's a dad now,' or 'Bobby's making womenswear now.' They don't care about the graphic T-shirt - it's only trendy for those two seasons. That style of pant that I made, that certain cap, it's not about that. It's about, 'I want to hear where Bobby's at with his life and what he thinks of The Hundreds.' That, I think, is what interests our core audience. They're very interested in who we are as people, and I don't think that will ever tire. We're complex, complicated human beings like everybody, and as long as I inform people of that storyline, I don't think they really are interested in going anywhere else. The story only gets better.
How would you define streetwear now?
I don't really know what that word means, but I will champion it if it stands for what I believe is this attitude of independence and not doing what everyone else is doing. That style of thought, I'm for it. If it's called streetwear, then we are very much a streetwear brand.
You've been working on a documentary on streetwear, too. How is that going?
I wrote the treatment four years ago. It's been a long process. I filmed a year and a half ago, spent the year filming, edited last year and it should be coming out sometime early this year depending on distribution deals. It's the story of me trying to really understand what streetwear is. I want to explore what it means to other people. It takes me around the world and all these different perspectives - and everyone is completely different, by the way. I have over 150 hours of interviews and no one said the same thing. Even when I was just like, 'What brands are streetwear?' Almost everyone said different brands. But at the end of the day, it's just really about these people. A certain attitude you have towards your design.
The Hundreds launched with just one graphic T-shirt, similarly to how Jennifer came out with only a hoodie, which is interesting.
It's funny how it's kind of similar to how Jennifer is going. When I launched this program - and I'd been talking about Jennifer for a little bit - everyone was like, 'Oh, it's a sweatshirt! Where's the rest of it? We want more.' That's not how I build brands. I'm not here to come out the gate, be the biggest thing in two years and disappear. I'm telling a story, so the story begins with a prologue, like an introduction. Let's tell the story the right way.
And now that social media is a huge part of launching a brand compared to 14 years ago, what has been your approach with Jennifer?
Probably the main form of marketing is putting it on friends. There's this community of women who have been very awesome towards me; strong women that I look up to and that have inspired me: Lena Dunham, Sara and Erin Foster, Kreayshawn, Sophia Rossi of HelloGiggles, Nadia Bolz Weber, who's a very liberal pastor from Denver. When I was thinking of Jennifer, they embodied it exactly with where they were at in their life, or how they conduct their business or how they are as a leader. Those are the qualities I wanted in Jennifer. They all represent these facets of interesting, creative, powerful women. I don't want to come into a women's space with a women's brand and be like, 'Listen to what I have to say as a guy.' That's not the point. I'm here to listen and these ambassadors and advocates do that speaking for me. If you admire these women the way that I do, maybe you'll be into Jennifer the way that I am.
You're focusing on the people and the bigger story more than just a good piece of clothing.
Yeah. That's the same attitude we had with The Hundreds and it's the same attitude we have with Jennifer. This is the medium for me to tell this story. These stories really last forever, and Jennifer's a new chapter, a new avenue for me to tell a different story that exists beyond streetwear. I love streetwear and it's cool to be in that category, but I want Jennifer to live beyond that. I want it to really speak to talk about women and men. What it means for what a woman wears, what a guy wears. Let's change a lot of those perceptions. I want to break down walls constantly.

I would have to say that the thing that I need to pay attention to, and what can unravel me is that I can get really caught up in a task once I’ve started it. I don’t like being disturbed half way through or being asked to shift focus or to move on until I’ve resolved it to a level that I deem acceptable. I have to be aware that not everything has a clean start and end point and that sometimes stepping away can be a good thing as a fresh perspective often contributes to better ideas.

I’m looking for an avenue to demonstrate my skills in a different context. I’m also hoping to pick up new skills by branching out and taking on different kinds of work. My last employer gave me a lot of opportunities as we were a small firm, each of us had to juggle more than one role. I would like to take these skills and apply them to larger scale projects.

This logo is inspired by Jazz. You can find some elements which are related to Jazz itself, such as:

▪Symbol of a Quaver, which represents music.
▪Star, which represents night time.
▪A clock that shows the time, which is 12am or midnight.

In the picture, you can find two hard opaque containers consists of quavers and stars. Those two elements were grinded to produce a new elements of music.

Why hard and opaque?
Because both elements can easily get out of hand and nothing can control it. It has to be kept hidden, because no one knows the story or even ideas behind music.

The elements were piled into another container, which is bigger than the other two and falls upon a sleeping cat. The container is made out of hard glass, so the sleeping cat can be seen.

Why hard glass?
Because the sleeping cat has been fed of unknown musical elements - which also triggers it to slowly gain conciousness, and no one knows if It will become uncontrollable, so It has to be kept in a safe and visible place, so people can enjoy the performance of the cat and remain safe at the same time.

At the top right hand corner of the bigger container can be found a warning sign which means "Caution". It basically means to hear and see at your own risk, because it contains unknown elements and you won't know what's going to happen.

Because the concept is geometric, the "After Midnight" font should be related to the logo itself. The logo is quite squarish, because some of the shapes are rectangular - eventhough a circle shape is present. Therefore, the font is presented in capital letters, not a handwriting type.

# data[].attributes.body
Jazz after midnight is an expression  used by jazz musicians. Because some jazz pubs in New York City, after midnight many jazz musicians like to take part in free jam sessions. I chose this note that is a quaver. This note is used in jazz cords. As you can see i cho different forms of squares and half of circles to create this note.

# data[].attributes.body
I have decided to use a cat as the theme because the cat represents a nocturnal animal, black represents midnight, to combine things together on behalf of the night, to create "After Midnight ".

Simple lines and shapes shows the style of the Jazz, creating a new brand.

teacher- simple in connection with jazz? perhaps a contrast?
explain your lettering. font. why does it suit the brand.

# data[].attributes.body
