Bomb Story: There are a few half-toned Adam Bombs in the Squad, but this was one of the first. The reprographic technique of half-toning has been popular throughout various generations of art, from the early screen-printing and lithographs of Warhol to the Photoshop edits of early-2000s streetwear. Half-toning was a convenient solution for many designers who were utilizing low-resolution online photographs to stretch across T-shirts. Instead of getting a pixelated result, a halftone filter broke a blurry photo into thousands of sharp, focused dots.| Background Story: Although brought to the modern stage by Dakis Joannou's mega ""Guilty"" yacht designed by Jeff Koons and Ivana Porfiri, the pattern that inspired Disrupt is actually the British Navy's Dazzle camouflage from World War 1. Instead of designing a camouflage that would hide a ship, Dazzle was invented to confuse its observers from knowing which direction the boat was moving. Sometimes, I feel like our entire brand is cloaked in the Disrput pattern. We're not really sure which way we're going, but we're always keeping our enemies on their toes!
