Black Paranoia Case File 3PK board: three black tees titled Stay Aware, Redacted Truth and Observed, front and back, with print colors, a reflective preview and packaging

The concept

Each tee is treated as a document in a case file. Stay Aware carries the eye mark and the line "Everyone looks. Few observe." Redacted Truth hides its message under redaction bars. Observed turns the eye into the O and closes with a subject-and-status label on the back.

Made to be seen

The prints use reflective silver heat-transfer vinyl, so the redaction bars read flat grey by day and flash white under a camera flash at night. The palette stays tight: reflective silver, white and a safety lime accent, on heavyweight cotton in an oversized fit.

  • White#F2F2F2
  • Safety Lime#A8A93A

Packaging

A black resealable pouch and a case-file hang tag list the three tees as entries 01 to 03, so opening the pack feels like opening a file.
