Son somehow I don't see Genslers work as 'helpful' to urban community. As you may or may not know, marketing is about creating a NEED for a product. So by creating a need to own a certain brand within the the urban black community seems actually like a negative more than a positive. Seeing as young people in general will follow their idols, and getting rappers and whatnot to wear these brands, they place a level of importance on HAVING these brands. So tell me why it is a good thing that Gensler has helped create this need for young black/hispanic/white men to wear a brand name?

idp, i ask myself the same thing. what has gensler really done for the black community? the only plausible answer i can think of is that he's given the kids something to look up to. ROC is an extremely successful black-owned [pretty sure] company. but to give Gensler all the credit is beyond me.
i don't even understand how son is equating the success of the black album to Gensler... unless somehow it was all his idea... which i really highly doubt... "A CEOs mind, that marketing plan was me" - Jay

I see a lot of his influence in today's designs, whether good or bad is not up to me to say. I personally think it's somewhat overdone. Whether the style will stand the test of time will remain a mystery.

as you see in his work and intention's, this is not just a genre, this is a lifestyle of sorts
to me, these type of people should be put in light which they rightfully are , ie semipermant in nyc
i love to see these things progress from a viewer's perspective,
now i'ma start attending these gatherings
i'm pretty sure alot folk wanna say somethings to me

the redcross designers seem to do a lot for the community, but they get no love

i dont see how Dgensler is specifically helping the black community either but it doesnt matter, nor does it seem like its his intention. He seems to understand that creating a brand as oppose to a one off design can effect a lot more people and maintain presence a lot longer. The specific aesthetic is almost not even the point with him as long as the quality and attention to detail maintains. i think thats the big deal with master gensler.

its just that those attempts on urban design, rarely mass market
dont get caught up on race, this is a personal environment that i felt these changes from
and no great professional is going to stay in one system
