I-595 MD (Maryland) (Road Sign) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases a unique design based on Interstate 595 in Maryland, a fascinating example of a hidden highway. The artwork directly references the official identity of the route, while acknowledging its reality on the road.
Visual Elements and Representation
The central element is the iconic Interstate shield, a bold emblem of the U.S. Interstate Highway System. The shield is rendered in the standard red and blue color scheme, instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with American roadways. The white numerals "595" are prominently displayed within the shield, providing a clear indication of the highway's designation. This element represents the official, federal identity of the road, the "I-595" that exists on paper and in official documentation.
The design, however, acknowledges the 'hidden' nature of I-595. While the Interstate shield is present, the shirt does not depict the signage on the actual road which reads US 50 / US 301. The design captures the unique dichotomy of this highway.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design speaks to the concept of hidden infrastructure and the unseen systems that shape our world. It represents the official designation of the highway, while alluding to the secret that exists for all who drive on it everyday. The shirt can be seen as a nod to the complexities of urban planning and transportation.
