Late response to the Nike article

I had to think about this article for a while. Mr.Hoke serves as an example of what I should've done years ago and what I should be doing now. He not only sketched, but actively deconstructed sneakers in his spare time as a youth. Mr.Hoke states that none of his ideas are final and is never concerned with the details of his drawing. He also doesn't limit himself to just sneakers, preferring to draw human anatomy and architecture. Along with his own ideas, he also encourages his team to exercise their creativity by experimenting with different shoe designs. The drive to improve and the need to constantly draw are things a designer should hone.

He lives a bland and broken life: he suffers from an alcohol addiction, is unemployed, and tends not to have many friends to relate with. His parents pay for ...

As it seems, one of the few details that make this swindle successful is the fact that Neil Stansfield and his employees were buying products from other companies and re-branding them as organic, since organic foods are starting to gain popularity. Shows they know their market. They also have a good sense of what makes the design of an organic foods box. Even I have to admit, the designs on their Swaddles boxes are pretty appealing; some sort of cross between simple, modern, and elegant. Another thing I found interesting in this article was how the perceived value of a product can really make it sell. Personally, I always found this aspect irrelevant, but I guess I'm proven wrong here. Though, I'm definitely aware of how the color of the label or container of the product can change how a person "tastes" the food of drink...
