PHASE 1: CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

THEME:
Fandom is not merch — it’s identity

IDEA:
You don’t wear clothes.  
You wear what you’re obsessed with.

EMOTIONAL ENERGY:
Loud / chaotic / expressive / unapologetic / internet-native  

CULTURAL TRIGGERS:
- Marvel / Anime / Sitcoms / Gaming
- Memes / reels / internet humor
- Indian youth culture (college, streets, late-night scrolling)

PHASE 2: HERO MODEL & PHOTOGRAPHY

SUBJECT:
- Indian Gen-Z male (18–25)

POSE:
- Mid-action (jump / pointing / leaning forward)
- Slight motion blur on limbs (controlled chaos)

EXPRESSION:
- Playful, confident, expressive
- Slight smirk / hype energy

STYLING:
- Oversized graphic tee (Marvel / Anime print)

- Sneakers (streetwear vibe)

DETAILS:

CAMERA:

FEEL:
Digital meets physical poster  

PHASE 7: COMPOSITION LOGIC
