Project Proposal
Project 2: Vinyl Intervention
Project 2: Vinyl Intervention
Things to consider:
● IMAGE: The image you use will need to be turned into outlines, much like a stencil. Keep that in mind as you simplify your image down to a graphic. What information do you need to keep? What information is unimportant? Consider positive and negative space. Keep in mind that you will have to weed your vinyl (remove all negative space by hand). Very small pieces, under an ⅛ inch, may be very difficult to remove or may not cut clearly.
● TEXT: Text is vector-based and can be used in this project, but before you add text, consider whether or not your message can be clear with just an image.
● COLOR: Your decals can be one of 30+ colors, but only one color. Visit the Digital Fabrication Studio in the basement to see what colors are available. You will choose a color when you drop off your files.
● LOCATIONLOCATIONLOCATION: Where will you install this? It is important to note that vinyl can be destructive to drywall and house paint, so if you want to install on a wall, you should get the permission of your landlord or the owner of the building you want to work in. However, vinyl can easily be removed from the following:
● You can NOT put your decals on the following: cars, laptops, phones or the floor at Tyler
● You have an area of 12” x 22” to make your decal (s)
● Your files should be RGB illustrator files.
● Your image should be vector outlines lines only, you will need to carefully clean up your file and make sure you don't have stray anchor points or "invisable shapes"
● The vector outlines should be RGB black (R255 G255 B255).
● The Digital Fabrication Studio is open Monday-Friday, 9-5. You must plan ahead to get them cut in time. Please allow 3-5 hours for this.
● You will not need to pay for this project, but be sure to tell them you are in my class.

It is important to note that vinyl can be destructive to drywall and house paint, so if you want to install on a wall, you should get the permission of your landlord or the owner of the building you want to work in. However, vinyl can easily be removed from the following:
○ Glass, Windows, and Mirrors
○ Tile, Sinks, Tubs, Toilets
○ Wood laminate, like you see in IKEA furniture
○ Steel, Aluminum, Metal
*You may NOT install on any non-porous material because it is not easily removed.Technical Considerations:
(things that are porous are concrete, drywall, fabric...)

Proposal Form must include the following information:
- Install/Removal Date: Install- Monday 3/9 and Remove- Wednesday 3/ 12
- Project Description-
I like the idea of advocating body positivity. It is pretty self explanatory, but the concept is accepting your body and what it looks like despite all the negative body standards and media. Everyone should be reminded to "love themselves" and accept how they are and what they look like. My vinyl sketch is a person hugging themselves. It is in the shape of a heart.
Location: second floor, gender neutral bathroom of the Temple Blue Cross Recreation Center Gym placed on the mirror

- I'm planning to make the vinyl 5'' x 5''
