Behind the Seams: Tell the Stories Behind Thrifted Clothes Through Multimedia

Abstract

“Behind every fabric, every thread, every button, every pocket – is a story.” Have you ever thought of the different stories behind thrifted clothes? Behind the Seams takes that question on and attempts to bring these stories to life with multimedia storytelling. It aims to find the best ways to become an immersive online store that is capable to narrate the fictional stories created for the thrifted garments with the various types of multimedia. In addition, I hope that through this project I am able to tackle a different side of resale or thrifted fashion. Behind the Seams ultimately is a collection of all my interests in one whole assignment. It became a way to further my knowledge and practice in the fields such as web design, photography, and videography. By recording the process, I was able to find mistakes and learn from them. With that, I believe it can also be a way to see through my design process that readers can learn from as well. Where they can get inspiration from and use the various techniques, they may find useful for their own.
