RAMONES
HANDCRAFT
2023
This project reimagines a Ramones album cover through a handcrafted leather jacket. Inspired by punk’s raw, DIY energy, I combined studs, embroidery, and laser-cut typography to create a tactile design system. The jacket functions not only as a garment but as a visual statement 
bringing fashion, music, and graphic design into one cohesive identity.
MOODBOARD & SKETCHES
Research began by collecting imagery tied to the Ramones and punk culture: CBGB flyers, distressed posters, safety pins, and raw block typography. These references shaped the visual direction and informed early sketches of the jacket layout. The sketch served as a blueprint, mapping out patch placement, text, and texture before production began.

Images include:

  • Visual research: punk flyers, textures, and typography references.
  • Early sketch mapping out studs, patches, and lettering.

    THE PROCESS
    The making process combined digital tools with hands-on craft. I laser-cut leather letters, stitched patches, set studs by hand, and tested embroidery details. Each stage layered more texture, turning the jacket into a living surface for typography and punk iconography. Imperfections were intentional, echoing the rough and unpolished energy of the subculture.

    Images include:

  • Laser-cutting leather letters.
  • Hand-stitching patches and details.
  • Studs set one by one by hand.
  • Testing embroidery placement.
    • FINAL PRODUCT
    The finished jacket captures the Ramones’ spirit, studs, bold lettering, and raw detailing colliding into one object. It works as both a wearable piece and a graphic statement, blurring the line between craft and communication design. To expand the concept further, the jacket was extended into a complete identity system, serving as the centerpiece for the album cover. This shift transforms the piece from fashion into a broader communication platform, uniting music, craft, and graphic design in one cohesive visual world.

    Images include:

  • Album cover featuring the jacket.
  • Back cover design with tracklist.
  • Record store shelf mockup.
    • REFLECTION
    I chose to create a piece of clothing as the foundation of this project to reflect my background in fashion and craftsmanship. By treating the jacket as both garment and canvas, I merged typography, texture, and punk iconography into a tactile design system. This process showed me how physical craft can expand into visual identity — bridging fashion, music, and communication design. Moving forward, I’m excited to keep exploring how handcrafted work can inform and strengthen graphic systems.
