The Jabbawockeez

The Jabbawockeez are a Hiphop style dance crew. They are actually my favourite dancers of all time. They have almost revolutionised group dancing with there unparalleled synchronisation. When watching them they can actually look like robots, this is because of the fluidity of there dance moves but also the mask that they wear. The mask gives them a united identity that increases there performance as a team/dance crew.
Again, everyone who knows of the dance crew The Jabbackockeez, they instantly associate them with the mask. The mask has a very minimal design and looks very robotic. The pale face creates a creepy vibe that makes there identity elevated to a symbol. 

This is an illustrated version of the jabbawock mask and iconic bucket hat. When simplified into vectors this mask can create the potential to also be an effective logo. This could be printed onto posers or can be worn on t-shirts and for illustration. To have an impact on society during political revolution, simple logos and symbols can be some of the most effective ways of uniting the public. providing a visualised beacon.

I really like the bucket hat over the mask it gives an even deeper sense of a hidden identity. I may do some designs of people wearing the mask I have designed but also wearing a bucket hat over the top. It also makes it more relatable to modern society and fashion trends.
