Graphic Design
Each hoodie is covered in full-panel comic book layouts featuring dramatic action scenes, exaggerated dialogue bubbles, and bright exclamations like “WOW!”, “ZAP!”, and “BOOM!” The design uses a dynamic mix of red, yellow, blue, and black to evoke the classic offset printing of old-school comics. Clean panel borders and vintage-styled characters create a visually loud and playful aesthetic that appeals to collectors, graphic design enthusiasts, and urban fashion followers.
