The Eight Signifiers

The design for the curtains I am creating centres around a central circular motif that displays icons that signify the following eight stereotypical visual identifiers that distinguish between class or having good taste. Though these icons could be said to be temporal and particularly of now they will still always hold a stigma that is associated to them as signifiers.

In no particular order:

1, The supermarket to where you grocery shop.
2, The newspaper you read.
3, The car you drive.
4, The jewellery you wear.
5, The clothes you wear.
6, The language you use particularly slang.
7, The style of house you live in.
8, The breed of dog you own.

For both the curtains I shall draw the answers to these questions in respondence to the stereotypes commonly held.

Below is diagram to which I will place the visual identifiers within the circles.
