Copycat! (real)

An Inquiry on The Significance of Counterfeit Culture

  • Graphic Design
  • Print and Publication
  • Craft and Making

‘Copycat! (real)’ delves into counterfeit culture, shedding light on its role in informal markets. Through playful font distortions and nonsensical copywriting, it explores how knock-off designs mimic established brands. By deconstructing these modifications in counterfeit toys, the project sparks an informed visual discourse, redefining counterfeiting as a ‘productive’ practice.
