TEAM UNDER ARMOUR:
Roster: Satoshi Sutoh, Jonathan Guisbert, Ako Xiang, and Seth Peterson (CMF)
Today we’ve been starting to think about our presentation which is coming up on Friday. What I realized today is that the past three weeks of work will all be told in a jam packed three minute session. This really makes me appreciate how much work goes into a sneaker, but all people normally see is the end product. What’s even crazier is that the consumer evaluates product in even less time than we have to present, probably 30 seconds or less. I think going forward, I’ll always appreciate footwear A LOT more!
Just finished selecting materials. Now I need to work on the rendering, this will help to bring the materials to life. Gotta go for it tonight, it’s going to be a long night! – Ako Xiang
A look at my wall close to complete. I’m feeling really good about my concept and final direction, but I won’t put that up until I’m completely finished with the render! I’m going to be up quite a while tonight rendering my concepts and preparing my presentation. I’m not even nervous yet, but that’s probably because there’s a huge mountain of work getting in the way of Friday’s upcoming presentation. I’m excited though and hope everything ties in well for my three minutes of shine. – Jonathan Guisbert
This evening we talked to Suzette (CMF director). This was our first conversation with Suzette as a team. In this time, we talked about materials, colorways and details about the construction. This gave us some feedback and inspiration on how to move forward with our presentations. Our presentation is on Friday and will last three minutes so we have to think of the best way to explain our work in that time. –Satoshi Sutoh
