'Graphic design is my prison' barcode
Another suggestion in my peer crit was to apply some kind of meme to the barcode; my instant thought (that is incredibly relevant) was to create a 'graphic design is my prison' barcode. I discussed this in my crit, and my peers thought it was a great concept, as it would allow almost every element of my design to link back to the concept of memes.
In regards to the barcode itself, I needed it to work so couldn't add anything to the top of the barcode; due to this, I added the meme into the bottom section and tweaked it slightly so the frog actually looked like it was trapped in the barcode. I think this is a great little detail to add into the outcome, as it makes the visual language so much more refined.
What it looks like in context:
The barcode works really well with the design, as the manipulation is quite simple so doesn't overpower the design.
