Bachelor project at SASD, University of Bridgeport
"The 7 reasons to re-use clothing" was my senior thesis at UB. I wanted to encourage people to consider the option of re-use instead of constantly buying new. It was intended as more of a proposal than guilting people with facts about the importance of eco-friendliness. In other words, trying to appeal to people. I realize everyone is different, so therefore I came up with seven reasons hoping that one or more of them would be able to appeal to most people. The map made out of jeans and leftover fabric was installed with pockets holding the reason cards in the school dining hall. People could take home a card and on each card was a better explanation of the reason and a link to the thesis website which I designed to be an overview for all the reasons. This project really opened my eyes towards crafting to support my design projects. People appreciate your hard work more than you know. Especially these days when almost everything is computer made.
