Boing Boing/Imaginary Foundation/Marshall McLuhan t-shirt

I'm pleased to announce another co-designed t-shirt from Imaginary Foundation and Boing Boing! We hope you dig it! This design is a play on media theorist Marshall McLuhan's most famous soundbite, "The medium is the message." It's available in small-XXL. The front of the t-shirt is printed with a flock process, giving the blue text a lush texture. The back (above left) is a super soft "discharge" print with the BB and IF logos and the following text:

"Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media with which men communicate than by the content of the communication." –Marshall McLuhan, 1969

This design is a celebration of the t-shirt as a medium. We are all media, so we may as well get good at it.

    Love that book. I haven’t looked at in a decade or more. Wonder if it still stands up! (Literally and figuratively!)

• [reinix]

  loldischarge.

  and, why haven’t you guys installed disqus?

• [Spinningmind]

  I like this a lot.

  I feel strongly that it should only have been manufactured in medium size.

  :)

  • [David Pescovitz]

    Well, the only way Nick got me to agree to work on it with him was by promising me a XXL. ; )

  • [mdh]

    or have all sizes mfg’d with ‘M’ tags?

    Awesome shirt design.

• [blueelm]

  Ha! I like it.

• [kidfunctional]

  might have to pick up this as I missed their t-post version here

  • [David Pescovitz]

    Yeah, I think I blogged about the t-post shirt a while back. Nick from Imaginary and I worked this design up together for t-post and then decided it would make a fun IF/BB t-shirt too!

    • [kidfunctional]

      yes :) I think it was your post that turned me on to t-post in the first place

• [eagleapex]

  Can I get one that says “massage?”

  • [David Pescovitz]

    You should make one!

• [Chris Spurgeon]

  Helvetica FTW!

• [Church]

  What sizes does it come in?

  • [David Pescovitz]

    S-XXL

    (and yes, we know, we left the “XX-large” text off the design.)

    • [Church]

      I’m a medium (size, that is) so this won’t be a cognitive disconnect for me…
