This is my final design for the Welcome Mat project for the Jamaican Culture. The Jamaican culture has strong beliefs about their colors and symbols. In Jamaica, the color black symbolizes strength , gold symbolizes wealth and beauty and green symbolizes hope and agricultural resources. To keep along with their culture, I choose to use the colors, black, gold, and green. I mainly used the color black because it seemed to have a stronger meaning in the Jamaican society, probably symbolizing their independence as a country. To go along with their independence and strength i choose to use a chain design. To blend the Jamaican Culture with American culture i choose to simplify the design and make the mat a 2 to 1 ratio. The design itself has a curvature in each chain. These curves create a comfort when walked on and develop on the idea of what "welcome" means.
