Fashion Designer: Stella McCartney

I choose to research British fashion designer Stella McCartney. Daughter of Beatles member Paul McCartney, she was born in 1971 and grew up in East Sussex. She started her fashion journey at the age of 13 when she designed her first jacket, then had her first internship at aged 16, working at the famous Savile Row, a street in London known for mens tailoring. She came the creative director of Chloe in 1997, and launched a joint-venture line with Adidas in 2004. She has also created her own perfume, mens clothing line, children's clothing line, and launched her own collection inspired by The Beatles. She is known for her animal rights activism, and uses no leather or fur in any of her designs. In both 2012 and 2016, she worked with Adidas as Team Great Britains Creative director, which was the first time in the games history that a leading fashion designer designed all the countries uniforms for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Assignment #1

 My favourite short from Love Death and Robots was the season 1 episode "Three Robots". This episode had a lighter tone than previous shorts, with the three main characters being easily likable and quick witted. The robots are a part of technology I was impressed with, since we have models resembling the characters, like Alexa, who can converse and make jokes. I appreciated the irony of the robots going on this vacation to try and figure out how humans work, considering the fact we spend so much time today trying to figure out how to better work robots. When they first stop at the abandoned high school, I thought it could be a nod to high schools during COVID where they became empty and 'run down' since everyone was online (the episode was made in 2019 though). Their confusion to understand how the basketball was fun was entertaining, and also highlighted the juxtaposition between advanced technology and the simplicity of everyday objects.  I also really liked the par

I, Robot

  The reading that best complimented our team’s overall theme and message presented throughout the poster board was entitled, “The Evitable Conflict.” This short story was written by Isaac Amisov, as it was first published in the June 1950 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. The work also later appeared in Amisov’s I, Robot collection, with continuous themes and features of the same characters.   The premise of “The Evitable Conflict'' is set in the year 2052, and sees Earth divided into 4 different geographical regions. These individual reasons all have a powerful supercomputer managing its economy, and the plot centers around members of society who are casting doubt on the accuracy of the computer and its ability to properly carry out what it was programmed to do. The character Stephen Byerley, who has been a recurring character in Amisov’s works, thinks that mistakes made by the computer are directly to blame for economic inefficiency.  There are many repetitive themes thro

Ready Player One

 Ready Player 1 assignment: - The game I played was Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. The only difference between the two were UI changes and more map selection. Also, the new game included a new story line. Avatar: How are they different from their real life character? - We interviewed player bestatnick, he said: “My in-game character was a girl and I am a guy in real-life. I choose female avatars because the female characters are smaller, so they are harder to get hit in the game. - My avatar was tall, skinny, and lean to resemble my own physical characteristics. She had long blonde hair as well, even though mine is brown. - She wears a warrior outfit, similar to one you would see in Assassin's Creed. What type of virtual reactions do you have while gaming? - When I game, I feel the same emotions that I do in real life. - If I lose in the game, I feel the same kind of disappointment and frustration I would in the real world. So very similar reactions Are you ever curious to meet your fri
