Eye for colour
Posted at 02:25:32 pmAs I was doing the swatches, I realised that there are various colours that can be related to Princess. For instance, pastels colours, pink is more sweet and for fairytale or kids (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7817496.stm); gold, yellow, purple symbolises royalty; black can represents those gothic cosplay and spoilt-brats.
Colour is definately symbolic: a positive colour for you might be negative for me. Since colours have a different meaning in every culture, it is a good metaphor for Princess, where there's various interpretations of its meaning. Princess can be someone who is respectable/ sweet-looking/ classy/ naughty, spoilt girl / and more.
With the experiment I did with coloured transparencies, where I overlapped different colours together to form more colours, I thought of printing words that describes Princess with different colours on transparencies and overlaying them to create a new depiction of Princess using the language of colours.

Also I read some articles about some Princesses who are actually among us. I was thinking of filming people on the streets or events, and overlay them with different colours, hence using colour semantics to portray emotions and how everyone perceives Princess differently. Seeing the film, the audience can decide who is the Princess and if Princess can be one of us.
