Tech Savage, home
TECH SAVAGE in rounded, bowed lettering made of cyan scanlines over an offset magenta impression, like a curved CRT screen.

We develop the concepts and direct the artwork using AI image tools. We choose what goes on the shirt, so complaints about the pictures belong with us.

What you’re wearing

The words bulge out towards you like an old screen, built from cyan scanlines with a magenta image refusing to sit directly behind them. This is the one for anyone who remembers a display as a large, faintly alarming piece of furniture. We have kept the curved glass and the colour separation, but spared you the business of carrying the bastard upstairs.
