Consume me girly! - Shirt Design

Graphic Design

Fall 2023

Shirt, fabric paint, graphite, brushes

Being tasked with creating a drawing that responds to our experience in an everyday space, I chose our local bagel shop, Einstein Bros. Bagels. I created my concept of this piece where I found my color. This being, in the sliver of pink debit card I would see poking out of my wallet, as well as the pink flesh of people’s lips and tongues when they ate. I used these observations to form my concept of consumerism, both in the literal eating sense and the capitalist sense. Since pink is associated with femininity, I also delved into body image issues.
