ART101 Section B —Apparel Design— Proportion: Notions of the ideal
Describing FORM: What is the specific communicative strategy?
Where is it found?
We judge what a “correct” size is based on our own personal perception or what we identify as a standard. In this image we can tell that the model is proportionate and the ideal size, from the size of the CK lettering.
Discussing CONTENT: What does it communicate?
Using notion of the ideal allows the viewer of the image to feel safe and comfortable by being able to recognize the model is proportionate. This also allows us to feel we have something in common with the model. We feel connected and comfortable by here being the "ideal" size.
