Book 1 Project

My idea is a “Shack” related outfit including Kobe 9 © “Pure God” shoes, a custom “Shack” shirt, khaki shorts, and galaxy socks.. I designed the shoes this way because in the book “The Shack” which my outfit is based on, the main character Mack can see the bright pure colors of objects after he is touched by God. “Even in the darkness of the night everything had clarity and shone with halos of light in various hues and shades of color.”(Young 212) The colors are based off of heat vision. So Mack can see the heat coming off everything and can see for miles and miles. He basically has the eyesight of God. That is the reason behind why I called these the “Pure God’s”. The reasoning behind my shirt is that there is a banner on the front saying “The Shack” in yellow writing for the title of the book and it is in yellow because it is a bright color. On the back I have a set of Angel wings because of Mack’s relationship to God and his counterparts in the book. For pants I just a pair of casual khaki shorts. For socks I have just a pair of galaxy socks just cause why not and they look sweet. And because whenever I think of the shack’s location I think of something that is located in the sky, and I was thinking sky socks or galaxy socks and I thought that galaxy socks looked better.

I think my idea will work because the outfit is tied to The Shack with there being pretty much all of the essentials of an outfit. Including a shirt, shoes, socks, and pants. My outfit could broaden the audience of the book by having a nice slick outfit to sport to show your love for the book while still looking preppy and athletic at the same time. My outfit will net attention because it is brightly colored so while wearing it you will stand out more than other people. My idea allows and encourages people who are already fans of the book to stay connected and involved by the author by wearing the outfit that is designed after the book and is incorporated with one of Mack’s abilities; the ability to see bright pure colors as I have mentioned before. This outfit will also help fans stay connected with author by connecting both books by W.M. Paul Young; Crossroads and The Shack. They will help connect by that in both books the main character is literal and is pure. Meaning that they a “clean” or have an innocence for what they do. 

Having an outfit that has a shirt that just says “The Shack” might be misleading by possibly stating that it could be an event, or maybe like a family vacation that was memorable, or a religious experience that you had. (Indicated by the angel wings on the back of the shirt). Keeping this in mind I am going to add a caption or a mini two to three word description or sentence saying that this is a book. One thing that could work is having one of those funny “warning” signs. For example a shirt that has a big box on the front that is dark colored. This box is then broken up into a smaller box on top. Leaving two boxes on the shirt. The shirt would probably be either dark colored or really brightly colored.  In the top box it usually says “WARNING” is big capital bold letters usually in red letters with a black colored box. In the bottom box there is usually a statement meant to be funny or stupid. An example would be “WARNING
OFFENSIVE” or something like that where the saying is punny and just meant to be a joke and nothing offensive. W

hat I will use is say

“WARNING

THIS IS A BOOK” or something like that in big red letters exclaiming that it is a book and not just something like I discussed before.
