A little insight (http://media.www.thetriangle.org/media/storage/paper689/news/2009/01/16/ArtsEntertainment/thriller.Designer.Visits.Westphal-3587977.shtml) on costume design from Dr. Deborah Nadoolman-Landis, the creator of Indiana Jones' unique attire.
A portion of the crowd, aside from Drexel students in attendance, appeared to be fans of Indiana Jones, carrying around "Raiders of the Lost Ark" DVDs to be signed by Nadoolman-Landis following the presentation. "I hadn't realized how iconic Indiana Jones was until I was at Comic Con" Nadoolman-Landis laughed, reminiscing of when she first saw grown men walking around outside of a film set wearing replications of her designs.
"The worst kind of design is generic. The best if specific," Nadoolman-Landis said with all her heart. Create that character identity and make the viewer "true believers every single time."
The article as a whole is interesting, and provides a bit of an idea of what her job entails.
