‘A woman’s hair is her crowing glory’
After
exploring several areas of content and mediums, we have decided to focus on and execute a work based upon the subject matter of hair. Hair will be emphasized in the content and text of the work as well as employed as the primary material to create said text.
Words and phrases that are both seen and heard at a hair salon, such as “cut and blow-dry” will become the primary content and will be represented in a method
relevant to the service. Using such phrases, the end result will
be a beautifully designed a publication (pamphlet/booklet) or possibly just a serie
s of eye catching images that communicates to the viewer a fictional 'price list'. We plan to use hair as our primary medium to create the text. Using everyone in our groups different skills we are confident that we will come up with some exciting and interesting letter forms, esp
ecially with one textile, one fine arts student, and three graphic design, we will have lots of room to be experimental.
Here is some experimentatio
n using hair as material

Having presented our proposal, we decided to review it in order to clarify what purpose our final outcome would have and who our audience would be.
We decided against including prices in our booklet of hair services as we didn't want to create focus on prices, nor on the idea of a price list for a fictional salon. Therefore, instead
of taking
the price list concept literally, we have opted to created a small booklet or fanzine-style publication which might serve as a coffee table book for customers to browse through when visiting the hairdressers. The content of the book will therefore not be a veritable guide to the services offered by the salon for the customers, but rather a documentation and illustration of our interpretations of the terms. We also envisage printing the final photographs as a series of large-scale posters, th
at would perhaps be included with the booklet or that salons which carry the booklet
might choose to use as wall art.
We have decided on the following hair terms:
-Perm
-Trim
-Highlights
-Foils
-Blow dry
-Colour
-Wash
-Curls
-Up-do
-Fringe
Below are our trials so far. We have decided on the style of photography we would like to use, and are currently working o
n more experimentations of how to illustrate the different words.
