Visual Research

As I delved deeper into the concept of slogan shirts, I decided to investigate the phrases currently featured in the market. I gathered a variety of examples and compiled them into a text-based poster, examining how the meaning shifts when these words are presented in a static, two-dimensional format rather than interacting with the body. This approach allowed me to explore how tone and context change when the phrases are removed from their intended medium. Additionally, I designed my own self-aware, sarcastic slogans for shirts to push the boundaries of irony in apparel, questioning how far this medium can stretch before its humor or meaning is lost.
