Cultural Appropriation And Fashion: A Line To Clarify The Line, Lauren N. Holloway
Honors Theses
In this creative project, the idea of cultural appropriation in fashion is explored and interpreted into mood boards and garment sketches inspired by different cultures. Cultural appropriation occurs when dominant groups take or “borrow” styles from marginalized groups, who face oppression or have been stigmatized for their cultural practices throughout history. In order to prevent appropriation from happening in fashion, it is important to educate and implement certain business styles in order to stay ethical. Understanding the history of cultural appropriation is important in moving forward and cutting down on the phenomenon in the fashion industry. By looking at examples …

Control System For 3d Printable Robotic Hand, Htoo Wai Htet
Honors Theses
Humanoid robotics is a growing area of research due to its potential applications in orthosis and prosthesis for human beings. With the currently available technologies, the most advanced robotic hands used in prosthetics or robotics can cost from $11,000 to $90,000, making it inaccessible to the general population of amputees and robotics hobbyists. Most of the features provided by these expensive technologies are superfluous to many users, creating a great gap in cost and services between users and technology. Using the emerging 3D printing technology, my project is to construct a 3D printed robotic hand that can reproduce as many …

In And Out Line Monitoring System For Volleyball, Kelley White
Honors Theses
The main goal of this project is to create a line monitoring system for volleyball to aid the line judges in their decision making as well as reduce the frequently misjudged calls.

This is because volleyball must move on to the next point in a matter of seconds or a delay of game is called against a team. Therefore, there needs to be a system that calls a ball without the need of a replay. The in and out line monitoring system …

Visual Identity: Creating A Visual Identity For Corbin, Kentucky, Jordan D. Jung
Honors Theses
This paper examines the role and importance of visual identity in place branding. After assessing the definitions of visual identity in the context of place branding, it evaluates the purpose of an effective visual identity. There are many factors that a visual identity can influence such as: portraying the place’s reputation, promoting interaction, distinguishing between competition, and building brand equity. The creative aspect of this project is seen in the creation of two visual identities. These factors of a visual identity influenced the design decisions for the two visual identities for the city of Corbin, Kentucky which demonstrates the value …
