Why use a gloss laminate then scuff it up to make it matte?

Why use coroplast for something like this??

I'm so confused.

I'm thinking this is a cheap way to do this, but why not just stick the material to the wall itself? Also thinking the material wasn't laminated, so no chance for matte laminate, again, budget minded, which is fine, I can appreciate the tips and tricks on cutting corners, as long as it's not compromising the sign as a whole. Being inside a kitchen, it probably won't see much sunlight. I'd personally stick it to the wall with some satin or matte laminate.

It wasn't gloss, it was matte. However, by reducing the surface sheen even further, achieved the required outcome. So, in a pinch, could be done as well if lam was gloss.
Why coroplast?
1) was an experiment. 2) the job didn't merit anything beyond that and would be easily removable. 3) cost effective and on-hand. 4) and best of all, to create confusion

Great responses.
Plus, I wanted it as removable.

I never said I didn't like it! I'm pretty impressed that they don't stand out as an unoriginal piece of the art.
For once, I agree with Mr Best here. Looks nice.
