Discussing CONTENT: What does it communicate?
When seeing simple shapes, it brings a sense of familiarity because we can remember them easily and we have seen these shapes our whole life. In looking at this look, the simple shapes located on the outfit brings out the feeling of comfort and a nostalgia. The designer took a childhood character and used simple shapes to help us connect the two. In being able to recognize SpongeBob, we are reminded of watching cartoons in our pajamas when we were little, giving us that comfort and nostalgic feeling.
