Design & Inspiration
We took inspiration from Katharine Hamnett’s famous protest t-shirts that she’s been turning out since the 1980s. The most well know of which is the anti-war, “Choose Life” shirt worn by George Michael in the “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” video. We love how the simple statements rendered in big black lettering on a white T allowed the wearer to instantly and concisely communicate their position.

For our bag for the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, we chose our favorite phrase “Get Your Life”, because it has a positive “Choose Life” kind of connotation, but also a generative, aspirational, meaning. Meaning to be free and go after what you want in life. To pursue passions and dreams. To get what you want and not be held back by the haters. We think this message is as potent as ever right now.

For the graphic design, we wanted to explode typography to make the message really bold and strong. And we added the paint splatters to give the graphic more energy and to represent the raw creativity and passion implied in "Get Your Life."
