Project Overview

Graphic Design
Every sweatshirt is a canvas of heroism featuring full-color anime characters surrounded by expressive black ink drawings, speed lines, and raw sketch overlays. With a controlled chaos of shouting faces, mid-action stances, and stylized Japanese brush script, the composition replicates the thrill of a manga page mid-battle. The careful mix of color pops and monochrome scribbles gives the collection its energetic visual tension.
