T SHIRTS KEY DESIGN ASPECTS AUDIENCE TYPE WHY DOES THE DESIGN WORK FOR THE
AUDIENCE?
CALL OF DUTY: GHOSTS
Call of Duty Ghosts box art logo central,
well known Call of Duty text is also
bottom right of the image.
Mainstream casual Call Of Duty Ghosts
fans.
This design works for this audience because it is the
well-known Call of Duty Ghosts logo, this means the
consumer does not have to invest a lot of emotion or
time in to the game to enjoy this shirt, they are simply
stating that they like Call of Duty Ghosts, also, if
someone who did not know what the shirt meant saw
it, they could still see the text and understand that the
person wearing it enjoys Call of Duty Ghosts.
RESIDENT EVIL
The shirt is in reference to Racoon City
from Resident Evil, it is in the style of
an American sports team logo, ‘’All
Stars’’ is the name of the fictional team.
Niche, hard-core resident evil fans. This design works well for hard-core resident evil fans
because it is in reference to a section of the game that
is only known to people who have a strong passion for
the game. The wearer would wear this not to express
to others that they like the game, but to show
themselves that they love the game and to also notify
other hard-core resident evil fans that they love the
game.
GTA V
This is a set of Bugstar overalls. Bugstar
is a fictional pest control company in
GTA V, in game you use this disguise to
rob a jewellery store. These overalls are
made by Dickies which insures very
good real quality.
Niche, hard-core GTA fans. This design works for the audience in two ways, for
one, it works because it shows the persons
appreciation and dedication to the game because
these overalls are presumably quite expensive since
they are made by Dickies. Secondly, they also work
because they are not only representing the game but
are also a direct ‘’prop’’ if you will, from the game.
This gives the audience the feeling that they are
actually somewhat part of the game itself.

AUDIENCE?
BIOSHOCK
Electro bolt logo in reference to a
power you can acquire in the game,
Electro bolt font that is also used in
game is the text used.
Niche, hard-core Bioshock fans. This design works because it is only a reference that
Bioshock fans who invest time in to the game can
appreciate. The wearer would wear this not to
express to others that they like the game, but to show
themselves that they love the game and to also notify
other Bioshock fans that they love the game.
MINECRAFT
This shirt is based on a monster from
the game Minecraft called a Creeper,
this is what the Creepers face looks
like, and this is the only thing on the t-
shirt, also the same colour scheme as
the monster in game.
Niche OR Mainstream Minecraft fans. This design works well for all types of Minecraft fans,
core and casual, because of its wide range of
meaning. For one, it shows a Creeper which is the
mascot for Minecraft and is almost always associated
with the game and is like its mascot, this could be why
a mainstream fan would like it. Secondly it does not
contain any other reference to Minecraft which
means that Niche hard-core fans would wear it just
because it means something to them and does not
show off how much they love the game to others.
ANGRY BIRDS
This shirt features the well-known Pigs
for the most downloaded game in
history, Angry birds. It also contains the
‘Nom’ graphic from the game and the
Angry Birds title in its typical well
known font.
Mainstream Angry Birds fans. This design appeals to mainstream Angry Birds fans
because it is exciting but also simple in terms of its
relatable well known Angry Birds design. The fact it
has ‘’Angry Birds’’ printed at the bottom lets anyone
who sees it know that this person is a fan of Angry
Birds, and could also catch the eye of other Angry
Birds fans due to its well-known pig characters and
the ‘’NOM’’ typography that is also a well-known
factor from the game.
