THEORY TO PRACTICE - symbols

After considering what exactly was going to go into the publication, I decided that the use of little interactions was well suited to certain aspects of kitsch. It will make the publication a lot more playful and allow the reader to interact with it as well as just reading a whole load of text. A lot of imagery will also help in making the publication relevant to the content, as well as making it reflect the characteristics of kitsch.
With this in mind, I wanted to display the different aspects of Meadham Kirchhoff's work, what it was that inspired them and how this related to kitsch imagery and objects. In order to show this, a little pull tab seemed like an interesting possibility. 




A selection of symbols were drawn up using different aspects of the SS12 show, be it accessories, inspirations, or imagery  used. These were to go on the pull tab, with a little hand written note at the bottom exclaiming 'pull me'. The tab was measured up so that it wasn't going to be longer than the A5 page, and a title was also created using my own hand written type. 
I measured up a little box on the main page that would fit the tab in. The only issue that may occur is how I cover up the back of this page in order to keep the tab secure. I create a mini prototype to see if it was possible, and it doesn't look too messy by just sticking the 'inspiration' image to a blank double page spread.
