Strength and influence
Obama had American society breathless when earlier this year, he told the teeming masses, Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin the work of remaking America. Madonna, the one they come to see above all others, has London theatre society waiting for the moment where she sets a new course from her own Hollywood persona to “intelligent, scrupulously disciplined comic acting”.
Prada, action-orientated, and accountable, has once again altered the course of fashion, reports intensified interest in placing the fashion house on the Milan-stock exchange bringing it Up For Grabs. Miccucia Prada’s decision, is an evolutionary leap, involving a new generation offering an important bellwhether.
To compete, when the critics report back about a lack of confidence in the economy, Obama needs to turn heads again, by appearing energized and focused on the challenges of strengthening the economy, rebuilding American industry and restoring confidence in our integrity at home and abroad.

Final Captures of my Exp 2 Model
Meeting Space Image 1 Meeting Space Image 2:
These captures of the meeting space (the platform and shelves with tunnel for Alfred Nobel and the open topped prism for Jacques-Yves Cousteau) clearly illustrate a way for Cousteau and Nobel to meet, whilst still retaining their own personal space. The shelves provide Nobel with a place to organize his dangerous chemicals or other materials before meeting Cousteau and the tunnel/ramp provides him with time to gather ideas before meeting with Cousteau to discuss them. Similarly the stepped ramp of Cousteau's environment enables him to dive deeper into the environment, with the result of uncovering new ideas from collaboration with Nobel.
Textures in Jacques-Yves Cousteau's Lab (light, dark):
These images illustrate direct relationships between my model and the electroagregation quote. It depicts Jacques-Yves Cousteau's multi-leveled lab space with an open space at the bottom where the final discoveries can be made. The open ceiling of this space also allows him to look back up and reflect on the process of diving deeper to get there. The floor is textured in each of the spaces (which get larger/open up like that of the ocean floor as one progresses down), the textures progressively go from light to dark, emphasizing the feeling of diving deeper into the sea (further from natural light). On the bottom floor the texture incorporates open glass panels, emphasizing the process of uncovering shipwrecks when underwater.

red Nobel's lab 3 (dark):
This capture clearly identifies the relationship of Alfred Nobel’s lab space to the electroagregation quote. This view, looking up from the bottom central space allows one to view where they have come from, bringing together the ideas from each different separate compartment and then as a result create something truly magnificent. In Nobel's lab space, three textures have been used, progressing from light to dark on the floors of the first three lab spaces emphasizing the division of thought and its development the further into the environment one ventures.
