Artifacts- Clothing #1



Clothing







This first artifact is a collage of different clothing items that are sold either a stores or online to Tim Burton’s Fans about various successful movies that he directed. As seen above, there is a large variety of clothing items that can be bought to show support and love for Burtons movies. Most importantly, when a person wears a shirt that either has an image of Batman, The Joker or Tim Burton himself, it is making a statement to the rest of the world. In wearing a shirt with Tim Burton on it, it immediately becomes the message. It is making a statement about the person wearing it, making it clear that they agree with Tim Burton’s ideologies and wonderful creations. Not only does will this shirt make a statement about the producer, but also to the consumer. A person walking by and seeing someone wearing a Tim Burton shirt, it might get them interested in the person or character. The consumer is sending a message with the shirt they are wearing and it is up to the consumer to identify if they will accept it and let it affect them and become a part of their life or if it is irrelevant. As this cycle continues, clothing and shirts will create a bigger and bigger fan base for Tim Burton; this artifact is essentially a form of advertising.
