Inspirations:
Artists/Media
Welcome Home (Exhibit and Physical Props)
@ObviousPlant (Humorous Fake Products)
Hi Fructose Magazine (Contemporary Surrealism)
@shampooty (Adult Issues as Fisher-Price toys)
@ASMRPlayroom (Exploration of toys)
- Adult-Child Syndrome (research this more)
- Vintage cartoons and packaging
- Research of the impact of COVID-19 on our brains
-Research on Nostalgia
Initial Pitch/Idea:
— Goods and products that portray the desires of nostalgia and the joys of childhood.
—Cater nostalgia based products to adults. Abstract (horror) concepts that can be sold as a product.
— “Afternoon Cartoons” as a cereal or “Summer Vacation” as a household item for adults.
— Because this is catered as a desire towards wanting to be what you can no longer be, These products have a subtle anti-capitalism message as well.
— Create Thesis space to look like a miniature supermarket/bodega. If the space is too small, have the space resemble the break room of an office. Interactive parts??
