Final Infinite Print

For my final print I did some further research into the artist, Barbara Kruger. She did some pieces that comment on the mainstream and how it affects us. I used her style as inspiration to take my image further. In her artwork she makes bold statements in white, Futura Bold Oblique type on a red background, which she combines with a black and white image.

photographic silkscreen/vinyl
1987

I turned my image into a vector so I could make it bigger, then made it completely black and white and added the phrase "I see, therefore I believe" in the same style Barbara Kruger uses. I chose this phrase because I believe it describes how when we see people sporting high fashion labels we believe they are high class. It can also refer to the consumers of this product because they believe they can achieve a greater status if they are seen associated with a designer label. The girl in my final print is so blinded by this concept that she can't see that it shouldn't be just about the labels. There are tons of knock-off products that relatively low class people could afford, so buying designer products does not mean they actually will be of a higher class. If anything, they will be poorer from spending so much money for the label.
