In episode 13, we can see the when Tim visits Kentaro. Kentaro is a designer who is always so serious, superstition, and always wants to get straight to the point. When Tim visit, we see that Kentaro only wants business. He gets straight to the point. So many ideas flow through his mind and puts them all into one design. Me as a writer, I tend to do this a lot. I get a topic to write about, and boom ideas start to flow. One after one. I tend to have so many ideas and don’t want to lose them, so I try to combine them all and put them into writing. Kentaro has all these images and designs in his head of the perfect look, so here we can see he decided to put them all together. Tim tends to see this and seems very confused onto what look Kentaro is trying to present. “I found a dead cat on the street, so after I buried the cat, I put my ear into the ground and this is the kind of sound I heard.” This is a quote from Kentaro he says and tells Tim this is his inspiration. Kentaro seems to have more of a darker personality, but also can be very bubbly and optimistic about a lot of things. I also find myself in this situation a lot as well.

Some similarities between the work of a writer and a designer is their imagination. A designer has to have a this in order to se their mind to think about the designs they’re going to make on clothes. They have to imagine what their print will look like on a certain shirt, pant, outfit, etc. Some people don’t have this, they can’t or are unable to think about certain situations that need to be thought out. Writers especially need this because they have to write about their thoughts, what they’re imagining. They combine all their thoughts onto paper instead of clothes. Another similarity in both work would be the process of the final product. I believe both of these perspectives need time. Time is the essential part of a perfect product. With time, the window space between the beginning to the end, the development process is between. Time is very fragile in both of these fields of work. Some differences would be the creativity. I believe designers tend to have more creative minds than writers. Designers can get pretty funky with their clothing lines and that’s what makes it a fun time for them. With them allowing their free spirits to roar, these designers ideas scatter and become a sunshine of colors, patterns, shapes, etc. A writer definitely has creativity. But, their creativity is more intellectual. They have more of this thinking process because they know writing a book is being written to teach the reader something. The main purpose of a writer is to teach. A writer has a speciifc genre an audience their aiming for. What they write about, will be known to point out those specific people. The specific genre will be introduced on the first page. Designers don’t have this. They definitely have an audience picked out, but a genre? No, their genre is clothes. As we can see if Project Runway, their specific audience is the judges each week. They’re presenting their fashion to these designers to see if they proceeded in the task they were told to complete.
