The style is influenced by street grafitti, simplicity and texture. It reads as if it is engraved, known, and printed in one's mind. It even resembles a stamp like impression.
The style has an eroded feel which looks great on solid colors and through the silk screen process.
2. What do you wish to translate to the viewer with your chosen “look”.
from the ghetto streets to urban neighborhood being safe is important. I wanted the viewer to feel like , no matter what age or sex, that they could wear this shirt and feel COMFORTABLE in doing so.
3. Does it translate meaning? How?
I feel it reads that one has been "stamped" with the idea of wearing a condom during intercourse. It's impressed into ones mind that it is something that must happen. no excuses.
4. Does it fit PP?
I feel that PP is attracted to things that they know younger aged people are into.
I really love the concept, especially the top one. The ones where it seems like half the "stamp" is missing I don't enjoy quite as much, but are still in the right direction. I do agree about the text though, something needs to change, though not sure what exactly. Maybe its the juxtaposition of the "safe" font with the "sex" font, creating an inequality that fights against the overall idea.
