Product Parody is the intersection of graphic design and
parody through the lens of packaging design, showcasing
how satirical reinterpretations of everyday items can offer
both humor and social commentary. By recreating the
intricate details found in industry-standard design—
barcodes, copyright information, multilingual packaging,
and other manufacturing elements—I hijack the overlooked
complexities of mass production to give familiar products
new meanings. The resulting series focuses on blending
professional design with comedic ingenuity to critique
different aspects of everyday life, demonstrating the power
of graphic design to both entertain and provoke thought.
