Absolute Garbage

It all comes down to presentations. How you sell yourself, your ideas, your thoughts and your designs all depends on how well you present it. It's about how effective you market something. Even in this course I'm taking. Half the work is in designing a funtioning, thoughtful, aesthetically pleasing structure, while the other half is to sell it to the people you're designing it for.

If you don't believe how far clever marketing and packaging can go, check out Justin Gignac (pronounced jee-nak). Who has managed to package absolute garbage and sell them for a pretty penny. And by 'absolute garbage' I LITERALLY mean GARBAGE. Like seriously...

He collects crap off the streets of New York City (usually something which defines the city) and packages them in a clean transparent cube which is completely sealed. And the best part is, people actually buy them.

- I see a starbucks plastic cup and a New York Metro card. And some orange paper or something.

Urgh...and my friend said that my stack of KTM ticket passes were useless.


Stay tuned for more.
