For studio brief 2 we have been asked to create a body of research including 20 photos, 20 words, 20 facts, 20 opinions, and 20 statistics around a theme inspired by a given word and the number 100. The word I was given was 'cutlery'. After everybody received their given word, as a table we passed round our word and everybody wrote down the first word that came to their head.
Feedback:
- Silver-Hallmarks
- Knives
- Food
- Class (upper/lower comparison)
- The Borrowers: use weird stuff to eat with.
- Silverware, treasure,rich, wealth, retro
- Hallmarks-signs of quality
- Food, Dining, Eating
- Silverware- Upperclass. Selection of different ones.
- Family/Special sets
- Layout of cutlery
- Weight of cutlery
- Worth?
- Sporks
- Sets
My initial thought was to get a dictionary definition:
Wikipedia:
Cutlery refers to any hand implement used in preparing, serving, and especially eating food in the Western world. It is more usually known as silverware or flatware in the United States, where cutlery usually means knives and related cutting instruments. This is probably the original meaning of the word. Sincesilverware suggests the presence of silver, the term tableware has come into use.
The major items of cutlery in the Western world are the knife, fork and spoon. In recent times, hybrid versions of cutlery have been made combining the functionality of different eating implements, including the spork (spoon / fork), spife (spoon / knife), and knork (knife / fork) or the sporf which is all three.
My initial thoughts for 20 words were:
- Sharp
- Feel
- Balance
- Set
- Disposable
- Smart
- Silver
- Stainless steel
- Dish washable
- Engraved
- Starters
- Steak
- Blunt
- Dirty
- Tray
- Drawer
- Sheffield (used to be famous for cutlery manufacture)
- Quality
- Plastic
- present
