The End of the World: A New Beginning? [INFOGRAPHIC]

By

So it’s the end of the world. So what? So the graveyards are tenantless, and the unregenerate deceased have risen in a hiddeous, slobbering mockery of humanity? We say, “Party on.”

It may be the end of the world, but that’s no reason to feel sorry for yourself! It just represents a new and different set of opportunities. Look: capitalism has always thrived on a process of creative destruction. All your customers have gone extinct? What–the whole soccer-mom demo has seen a population-wide collapse after the moon turned to blood, and the dead rose out of their graves? Well then it’s time for you to search out a new demographic. Maybe repurpose your product to make it more appealing to zombies.

Our infographic today will be useful for folks in the photography industry who have survived the zombie apocalypse, but don’t want to change their profession.

Depending on one’s personal preference, anybody can wear an attire that he or she likes without necessarily having to follow the newest styles.

The geeks are no exception. They have their own signature look although this is now changing what with the so-called geek chic look they’re more known these days. Unaware to some of you, the phrase geek chic is now recognized and included in the Oxford English Dictionary.

If there is one book in this world that could be a documented proof of people’ s geekiness, it would probably be the high school yearbook.  Elementary yearbooks are more forgiving since these are children we are talking about here.  Unfortunately, high school isn’t that way.  People can be as pressured as they were in their teens when their geeky high school pictures surface in the present time.

Yearbooks document student life like nothing else do.  It contains accomplishments, shining moments, and even embarrassing moments that will be the subject of many laughs many years after.  It also captures a student’s fashion statement at that certain point in time.

This is where much of the geekiness comes in particularly in the hair, clothes, and even the pose that seems to put the subjects in a certain period in time.  The thing with yearbook pictures is that they seldom catch the subjects in their most flattering angles.  Mos of the time, the opposite is achieved.

Big hair, braces, over-sized glasses, loud hair colors, and crazy clothes combination all seemed a good idea during the picture taking until they haunt people just when they have gone through their worst fashion days and settled for more mainstream choices.  Everyone will have at some point be photographed looking like a geek.  This is simply part of growing up.

It is worth saying that memories brought back by yearbooks are those of warm geekiness.  These were days when life was much simpler and the main problem was what clothes to wear or what hairstyle to choose.  These were the days when people didn’t even realize they would look geeky after a few years.
