Pulp Fiction Design:
Although it is still copyright infringement there is a grey area. Parody of copyrighted characters can be considered derivative work. The design I created is highly transformative. It is quite different from the original image, so it could fall under fair use laws. There are not a huge number of trademark disputes. Seeing as Our House is just starting it is less likely that I would be sued for selling a few t-shirts. To limit the chances of this happening the design will only be available as a limited release.
The illustration is of Mia Wallace a popular cult character from Pulp Fiction. By creating clothing that incorporates famous characters, it improves the chances of building an audience, as the designs are more relatable to the consumer. It also increases the chances of them viewing the other products on offer, as it at the very least peaks the audiences interest.
