Virginia 135 1924 (Virginia) (Road Sign) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie design evokes a sense of historical nostalgia, featuring a visual representation of Virginia's early highway system from 1924. The design centers around the conceptual creation of a road sign for Virginia Route 135, had it existed at the time. It is a tribute to the evolution of road signage in the state.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The artwork focuses on a simplified, historical aesthetic. The primary element is a rectangular road sign, rendered in a stark black and white color scheme. The sign features a clean, white background framed by a bold black border, reflecting the design specifications of 1924. Large, black numerals "135" dominate the center of the rectangle, precisely mirroring the numbering system of the time. The overall presentation is a deliberate visual representation of the pre-shield era, a point in Virginia’s history. No "VA" is included because in the earliest designs, it was optional.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a specific point in time: a pivotal moment when Virginia began organizing its roadways with numbered routes. Although VA-135 was established later, the artwork acts as a retro-futuristic representation, showcasing what the sign would have looked like if the route had been implemented in that initial period. The stark, unadorned design symbolizes the functional simplicity of early road infrastructure, highlighting how the state was beginning to establish its modern transportation networks.
