CRUEL JAWS (VHS COVER) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design boldly showcases the iconic imagery of the 1995 shark-horror film, "Cruel Jaws," drawing heavily from the aesthetic of classic VHS covers. The artwork aims to capture the essence of the film's marketing, specifically the attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the "Jaws" franchise.
A Menacing Presence
The central element is a dramatic depiction of a menacing shark, a visual shorthand for the horror and danger at the core of the film. Often the design features a large shark or shark fin dominating the composition, hinting at the lurking threat below the surface. The shark's portrayal is designed to be frightening, evoking the fear that the movie aimed to capitalize on.
Visual Storytelling
The design continues the tradition of the original film's marketing. A sea or beach background further emphasizes the setting of the horror, inviting a sense of the vast, unknowable depths from which the threat emerges. The typography often employed would be styled to evoke horror movie posters of the era, further enhancing the film's brand.
Symbolism
The artwork represents the exploitation film's attempt to associate itself with the famous “Jaws” brand, by appropriating the visual language of the original films. It symbolizes the film's nature as an unofficial sequel and its deceptive marketing strategy. The cover art is designed to create a sense of dread and excitement, promising a thrilling and terrifying viewing experience, mirroring the content of the film and its ambition to ride the wave of the original.
