Mashup
Ms. Prada has distinguished herself with her eccentric and unconventional uses of pattern, shape and (often high-tech) fabrics. He is the first African-American to ascend to the highest office in the land. He is also the first new president since terrorists attacked New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001. Her avid explorations into pop cultural realms few designers navigated as boldly and her provocative relationship to the traditional markers of femininity in dress. There are Madonna moments in her tour documentaries, when she refers to herself as "the boss" and "the queen" when talking with her crew and dancers. More than her formal experiments with style, it is her engagement with the mutating outlines of class that make her one of Italy’s most compelling cultural exports. The first to use the Internet to decisive political advantage, the first to insist on handling a personal smartphone while in the White House. She not only stole the show but, nearing fifty and wearing a leotard, still managed to be the best-looking woman on the stage that night.

Lecture
This image from the lecture I find similar to the style that I have been drawing in my notebook and have been designing on unreal tournament editor. In this image I can see there is a large amount of space inside which is an attribute that I like and try to integrate in my own style for the clients. Large space is an important aspect to the clients for they have such a broad range of ideas in which they need an environment that they have a large amount of room to execute their creativeness. Another aspect of the image that I want to highlight in my on unreal tournament design is the lighting and shadows. I believe in this image they have successfully used the aspect of lighting and shadowing to highlight specific areas of the structure.

Final Developed Model
This final developed model portrays the area in which Alfred Nobel and Jacques-Yves Cousteau can create marvelous items to their imagination. For Alfred Nobel i have created an area in is enclosed so that most of his work can be created in an environment where there are no interruptions of the outer world as he he has 'a thousand ideas'. On the other hand, the area i had created for Jacques-Yves Cousteau is an open area where he can be with nature. "A lot of people attack the sea, I make love to it." reveals to me that he is a man that likes to be outdoors and embraces natures. Thus, the space and environment that was created for him is outdoors so that he can be easily inspired by what he loves.
The ramp created for Nobel to reach the meeting point is ramp that is stair-like and made up of different sizes and shapes which reinforces that many ideas that Nobel has. The texture used on this particular ramp is one of many busy lines, again emphasising the many different ideas that are running through his head. Conversely, the ramp created for Cousteau is one that enters the meeting point building but still has the openness of nature. That is there is no roof and nothing beneath the ramp, making it stil part of nature even though inside the meeting point building. The texture used in this area was inspired by nature and forest areas where vines are intertwining. Therefore, that is what the texture is illustrating by the amount of lines running everywhere and this reflects Cousteau's passion for nature.
