Appropriate Materials

Suitable outcomes for my final piece are out of the following:


- Printing on Silk a sheer fabric that allows for semi transparency whilst holding onto the images


OR


- Lazer cut onto a fabric or thick paper, fabric is preferred as when cut by laser the heat of the laser seals the fabric wherever it cuts.


Tomorrow I am printing a test sample on fabric to see how it looks. 

In the middle of the motif of the eight signifiers will be drawn out map of London to which I will shade the significant areas to where would best demonstrate the taste of such items on the curtain.

The particular areas are shaded by determining by splitting the city through the fairest way of establishing income based upon council tax figures in according to boroughs. Below is the wealthy followed by the less so fortunate.

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.
