WIP: 2D Design class: Project 3 part 1
For our 3rd project, the 'theme' was "Consumer VS Citizen" and we watched a video on Fast Fashion, the ecological, financial, and social damage it has wrought worldwide, as well as read some essays about the sweatshops in third world countries. Then we had requirements:
1) Use a 15"x20" illo board;
2) 2 colors plus 15-shade grey-scale (which includes tints and shades for the two colors) IN ACRYLIC;
3) Comic page format without 'talking';
4) Obvious frame lines for the panels (can have no frame around some panels)
5) At least 4 panels on the page (no max);
6) At least two objects;
7) A transformation; and
8) An obvious flow from one panel to another aka move through the space to read the story.
Oh, and relate it to our readings and the video about consumerism and citizenship.
This piece is 50% done, but as I need the acrylic to cure before I do another layer (don't want the board warping) this is it for the night.
Oh, and *my* take on this? I couldn't wear polyesters when I was a kid; I broke out like hives. So ...
Panel 1 is a closeup of a skin infection;
Panel 2 is baby-lynx crying from the rashes and a sheep with cotton in her hair pulling me away (there are polyester 'molecules' floating around);
Panel 3 is representative of 'natural products'... wool, cotton, flax (which creates linen).
Panel 4 is lynx and sheep looking at lynx arm clear of rash;
Panel 5 is adult lynx with money looking left with a worried expression (sheep is looking down)
Panel 6 is a splash page montage -- on the bottom left is a fast fashion factory, with poor workers jumping out of a fire-engulfed factory, middle bottom is a polluted lake with oil barrels and dead fish, bottom right is a field of flax and cotton. In the middle of the panel, molecules escape the factory to become a monster, which fights a ram while holding money.
I hate feeling "Aughtsey" but this is what I thought of after he bombarded us with those requirements.

impressive. the requirements would have left me dumbfounded..
did they show you about that village in india where everyone lives off dyeing cotton, and the whole vicinity is so polluted they have to import drinkign water which eats up everybody's income? so we can have teeshirts for a dollar and a dime...
but a good part of it is the consumers fault as well. a large clothes shop chain in germany tried to offer fair-trade cotton clothes which were only 50% more expensive than the standard stuff, but it didn't really sell. so we raise eyebrows about the situation and do nothign to change it...
as for the rashes, maybe it was the often poisonous dyes they used to colour polyester with that caused it. europe had to prohibit a good number of them for causing even cancer. doesn't mean third-world countries don't use it still, because it's cheap. so we, while being cheap as well, buy them again when shopping for incredibly cheap clothes.

I was never a clothes horse; I've always preferred jeans and T's but had a *few* nice things too. I recently bought "The Best Hoodie in the World" from American Giant http://www.american-giant.com/ -- made completely in the USA, including the cotton and weaving processes. They started out just making hoodies and are slowly expanding their line, giving their people livable wage, doing sustainable practices and trying to rehabilitate the idea of "slow fashion"
awesome! so it IS possible to produce nice, usable clothes that are affordable in a first-world country. :) I hope they have lots of buyers to make it worth it.
yeah, fast fashion is so silly. buy today, be outdated tomorrow. or ot falls apart like those stupid pre-washed jeans that were a thing years ago. that one wasn't cheap and lasted two years before it came apart right beside the seams... couldn't even fix it.
or those ripped stretch jeans on girls. the more holes the better? in winter? come on, girls, you want infected innards in five years or what?
and then they throw it into the "old clothes collecters" bags where it becomes cleaning rags that are unusable because that damn fancy fabric doesn't soak up a driplet of anything. I once even found a lacy panty in a bag of rags... yeah, right. the moth would have starved on it even.
