GABOR!!!

There are two people that come to mind when I think of  a branded person. The first one is the guy who started Obey. He basically just made the famous Andre the Giant sticker that said "obey" under it and stuck that around toronto, new york, wherever and from people just noticing it, he is now one of the best known artists within the culture scene. The second one that I think of is Salvador Dali, I don't remember the story too well, but I know that he was just an artists and his wife told him that he needs to brand himself in order to be recognized and famous. That is why he has that awesome mustache to give him appeal. 

Basically this class was awesome. It came in handy a couple days ago when I was doing my portfolio review and the mentor who was interviewing me asked me if I had studied any type of social media. I could actually know what I was talking about thanks to this class!
