Music has been the key influencer in keeping goth and alternative fashion styles relevant over time. Through research including literature reviews, surveys, and interviews, the author determined that music from the 1970s/80s like Siouxsie and the Banshees helped establish goth fashion, while 90s artists like Winona Ryder influenced alternative style. Modern artists now influence the styles, continuing the cycle. The author prototyped various fashion and design elements and plans to create an experience center event to showcase how music drives goth fashion culture.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
2. Introduction
For my Senior Capstone, I am creating a project that answers the question “How
and why do certain fashion trends such as goth and alternative continue to cycle
and stay relevant within society?”
My topic takes a look at how music, social media, advertising, and other forms of
communication influence and keep the styles alive.
I plan on using my project to show and introduce others to the history Gothic and
Alt fashion, while informing them on how powerful music, design, and media is in
the alternative fashion world.
3. Research - literature & internet
I started out this project with research focusing mainly on surveys, interviews, and
deep literature and internet research.
“Based off of my deep research, the survey, and the interviews, the key influencers
for goth and alt fashion come from music, all the way back to the 1970’s and 1980’s,
where it really first started to emerge. Key influencers from the past are those such
as Siouxie and The Banshees, for the early traditional goth, and people like Winona
Ryder for the 90’s alt scene, but nowadays, it seems people entering the alt fashion
community are influenced by modern artists, which were influenced by past artists.
Research has led me to the conclusion that fashion is a cycle, it will continue to stay
relevant as long as the key influencers and musicians continue to dress and cycle
the fashion from the past. Media is key.”
4. Research - surveys
The conclusion from my survey
with 54 responders was that most
people believe music is the key
influence for fashion styles.
5. Research - interviews
I conducted three interviews, one
over the phone, one through email,
and the other a zoom video call.
From those three, I was again able
to confirm that music was and has
been the key media influencer for
goth fashion, as well as friends and
social media like AOL messenger.

11. Week 10 Prototyping
For week 10, I researched app building
websites but ended up changing the
swag bag task to a brand identity task a
little more, since I realized I had no brand
identity.
Current app building websites - some research
Adobe xd - familiar with and easy to use, not sure if builds actual app tho
App machine - Drag and drop almost spoon fed style, easy to use.
appery.io cloud based, easy to use with apple
https://mashable.com/article/build-mobile-apps/ website has good list of
resources.
12. Conclusion
In conclusion, I have decided to go forward with an experience center event for my
final project, which will include a variety of items mentioned in week 10 research. I
have came to the conclusion that music is the strongest leading factor for goth
fashion culture, and that I want to showcase how that works. My research was able
to help me prototype items and tasks to solve the initial question that prompted the
project. Through my prototyping, I was able to determine what to go forward with and
what to include now that I’ve done the research and tested out a few things.
My next steps will include: creating a solid brand identity for the event, coming up
with a final list of things to include for the event, how to set it up to be physical and
visually pleasing, conducting a photoshoot, designing all small aspects and goodie
bag items, designing an outfit to be displayed, and coming up with solid ideation for
the final project display.
