ROTTENGRAFFTY is a rock band from Kyoto that has been loved by fans worldwide for over 20 years. Their It’s Alright Tour 2022 took place across more than 20 venues throughout Japan.
I was commissioned to design the official merchandise for the tour. The design featured the number “610,” a symbol closely associated with the band, reimagined as a road sign. Amid the lingering uncertainty of the COVID-19 era, I wanted the design to convey a sense of encouragement and positivity — a message that by following this sign (this band), everything would be “Alright.”
The concept was applied not only to the tour t-shirt but also to related merchandise, including towels, wristbands, and keychains, all unified under the same uplifting theme.
