13 A reading reflection 1

Coco Chanel isn't just known for her fashion, she also inspires girls all over the world to be their true self and uplift those around the, From her words of wisdom to her non-stop attitude, Coco Chanel is someone we all can admire. What surprised me the most was probably the wide variety of things she did in fashion. She was unique because she based the fashion around her life and what had happened in it as well as how she felt about things. She also made pants for women, which at the time was huge. What I most admired about Coco Chanel was her attitude. She stood up for what she believed in and she did not back down. Her fashion was different at the time being, and some may not have approved. However, she didn't stop, and made a name to herself in a positive way. She didn't coerce to societal expectations either, which was very admirable as well. I didn't like how Chanel didn't get out more to speak about the hardships girls and women experienced at the time. She was a role model, but with the power she held, she could have started something so much larger for women in power. Coco definitely encountered failure. Like I mentioned, at the time, it was not common for women to be entrepreneurs. She wanted people to know that just because she was a women would not deter her in her aspirations. Coco definitely faced hardships from many others including people who told her she couldn't do it, and refusal to help her. However, once her success cam clear, she was able to stand up against these people. Coco Chanel had strong political threshold for women as well, and once she started becoming more well known, she let people know she was not going to be pushed around. I think the reading was confusing because it said she was a bit modern and talked about her work as not so much being inspiring but just about fashion. It was confusing in a bit but overall not too bad. If I could ask Coco Chanel two questions, I would ask her where she first had failure and how she dealt with it, and also how she made a success out of herself when many women were unable too. Her hard work idea is almost the idea that if you don't stop working and never give up, it'll come, and I think this resonates with me as well.

Elevator Pitch 3

https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCuctrHd0VYW4bwCPZd9qkAQ/videos/upload?d=ud&filter=%5B%5D&sort=%7B%22columnType%22%3A%22date%22%2C%22sortOrder%22%3A%22DESCENDING%22%7D I did not get comments on my last elevator pitch so I don't know what I can go off for for that question. I think I changed how I approached the camera as well as how I talked and confidence levels. I tried to make more eye contact and speak with a better and more clear voice.

Creating a Customer Avatar

My customer avatar could be a wide range of people, but if I had to be specific about who my customer was, this is what I'd imagine they would be. My customer doesn't have to be in a specific age range, but probably someone who is over 30 and is working multiple jobs. I would imagine they are hard working and try to save as much money as they can, so if this means using a bike to get to work or not having a car, they would do it. My customer avatar may have a family, probably with a few kids, but my customer avatar would probably not have a significant other or else they would be better off financially. I think my customer avatar also in her free time would be cooking and cleaning and doing things they have to get done because they wouldn't be able to afford a lot of free time. I would think that my customer is a democrat,, considering most people who live in California are and also anyone who is struggling to afford the housing there would support democrats trying to give ...

Whats Next

The next step is to implement lots that have cheaper housing so that people with lower incomes still have places to live. I didn't necessarily get a chance to talk to homeless people in California, but I did talk to people like real estate as well as people who have studied the topic in the area. The general next steps to make the product possible would be to talk to the governing body in California, and set up where these places would go. Also to contact any non-profit organizations that could help. In a different market, these places could be used as immigration centers as well. We shouldn't be holding people under terrible conditions and if this could be a way for people to get the things they need and be checked than it may work. This topic is very controversial, but making shelters like this could be a huge help if it was done the right way. At the moment there are places like this, but they don't neccesarily serve the right purpose or treat people well. I think from ...
