Sensitive Designs

I found this poster while walking down Cuba street outside a tattoo shop. For me, all the tattoo designs in the poster represent sensitive designs as each of the tattoos have meaning behind them. For example the Maori art designs on the bottom of the poster have Maori cultural meanings behind the design therefore they are sensitive as designs.

As our readings says, Manos Nathan and Collen E Waata-Urlich are two of many Maori ceramic artists and practitioners in other media, who are extending the range of Maori art and design.



Insensitive Design

This tattoo design would be an example of an insensitive design as there seems to be a lack of meaning behind the artwork. It shows 'love' on one hand and 'hate' on the other.

There aren't any cultural meanings to this design as there are on the designs shown above therefore this design can be classified as an Insensitive Design.
