AOIKEMONO VHS COVER Hoodie: Design Description
A Nostalgic Echo
This hoodie design evokes the spirit of a bygone era: the golden age of VHS tapes. The artwork is directly inspired by the classic aesthetic of VHS cover art, with its bold colors, impactful typography, and the feeling of a well-worn, cherished item. The layout is reminiscent of the front cover of a VHS tape, complete with a stylized title treatment.
The Creature of the Blue: AOIKEMONO
The central element of the design is the name "AOIKEMONO" itself, rendered in a distinctive font, likely chosen to reflect the style of 80s and 90s era VHS releases. The name suggests an intriguing narrative. "Aoi" often translates to "blue," hinting at a sense of mystery or perhaps even the color palette used in the original work. "Kemono" translates to "beast" or "creature," indicating that the narrative revolves around an unknown creature. The design implies that it’s more than just a character, but the very essence of the story.
A Visual Narrative
The visual style pays homage to the era and is meant to evoke mystery. The design intentionally features a color palette reminiscent of the bold hues often found on VHS covers. Shadows, shading and details on the name may hint at the creature or story's origins, encouraging the viewer to investigate. This design aims to take the wearer and others back to the days of rental shops and late-night movie viewings.
