I-405 WA Metric (Washington) (Road Sign) T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a bold and iconic representation of a road sign, specifically designed to capture the essence of Interstate 405 in Washington State. The artwork plays on the familiar visual language of American Interstate signage, but with a humorous twist.
The Road Sign Iconography
The design prominently displays the standard Interstate shield. The familiar shape, with its red top banner and blue central field, immediately identifies the subject as an Interstate highway. The number "405" is boldly emblazoned in white numerals within the blue field, accurately reflecting the designation of the highway.
The addition of the state name "WASHINGTON" is integrated to identify the specific section of Interstate 405 and locate it geographically.
The Playful Subversion
The t-shirt's humor comes from the inclusion of "METRIC" in the description. The design plays on the knowledge that the United States does not use metric signage on Interstates, with the exception of I-19 in Arizona. This subversion of expectation creates a unique, ironic statement, suggesting a reality that does not exist. The design cleverly communicates that I-405 WA does NOT have metric signs.
Meaning and Symbolism
The overall design symbolizes the Interstate highway system, a core part of the American landscape. The playful aspect brings in the subject of metric vs miles, a uniquely American problem.
