Mapping the inquiry

To map out the areas to be looked and define the allegorical construction,I come back to the questions I asked in my earlier post regarding the visual media I am investigating.( as communication)
  • The purpose of the artifacts under-discussion?  
  • Geographical location?
  • The dimensions;size and materiality; Is it 2D or 3D?  
  • Static or in motion?  
  • What media are involved?  
  • What colours and forms are involved?  
  • Construction; How is it made and by whom?  
  • What images are used, and where are they sourced?  
  • How are the images treated, e.g. heroically and larger than life and why?  
  • What patterns or other enrichment is used, and where are they sourced?  
  • Who makes them, where and how?  
  • What qualities are seen in the images and other enrichment?  
  • Who is it designed for and is visible to, and in which circumstances? 
  • How these media relate to the Pakistani audience? 
  • How the knowledge about the target audience impacts the designs created? 
  • What are the factors that influence the visuality, popularity and influence of these visual media? 
  • How are the  indigenous socio-cultural influences reflected through the designs?

So basically what I am  looking at is;
  1. The composition and construction
  2. The location ; The level of context involved
  3. The type of audience invoked
  4. The cultural cache it carries
  5. And its relationship to commercialism within the communication context hinting at the process of production and reception.
