Carcass Noctis 666

It's an idea that's still under development, but generally stems from my interest in the way that battle-jackets communicate, both as a self-contained system and at the level of individual signs (i.e. patches). Some questions I'm interested to answer: how does personalization/customization affect the construction and presentation of a jacket and the layout of its patches?; how does the source of content (i.e. whether hand-made or commercially manufactured) affect its placement or perception?; how does content and design vary, depending on subgenre/s represented?; are there cultural differences in jacket design particular to nationality or language? A battle-jacket is both a personal "document" and a public one, and serves both as uniform and a CV of sorts; which is to say that I find its binary nature very interesting, as it contributes to discourse both private and public.
