In the beginning of 2018, I was part of a group that was asked to come up with apparel designs for the new Universal Super Nintendo Land. I came up with three design trends; Graffiti Gamer, 8-Bit Icons and Pixel Peeps.
For Pixel Peeps, the idea behind this trend was to use common phrases and words like “Flower Power” and “Bitcoin” and juxtapose using Mario characters and icons. These design are often simple so to be more impactful. I designed the graphics using the 8-bit and 16-bit style of the characters to have a retro feel and felt it was more fun.
