The Baby Yoda VSCO-Girl: A Junior Illustration Project by Kira Narog (2020)

For this project I chose to create a sticker that would cater to the sense of humor of the current high school generation. I wanted to create a sticker that I could hand to my friends, who would look at me and burst out laughing because the idea was so hilarious. I attempted to bring together two pop culture jokes and mash them into one. On one hand there is a popular joke, or what my generation tends to call a meme, circulating the internet using a character from the popular Disney+ Star Wars TV show named, “The Mandalorian''. This character has been dubbed “Baby Yoda” for his strikingly young similarity to the famous character “Yoda” from the main Star Wars saga. The internet has been completely obsessed with incorporating “Baby Yoda” into anything and everything where the character's adorable face can create eye-catching content from SNL skits, to memes, and even merchandise. On the other hand “VSCO-girl” is a term used for a teenage girl who generally dresses and carries certain accessories. A “VSCO-girl” dresses mainly in an oversized 80’s band t-shirt or hoodie, which she has usually never even heard of, carries a Hydro Flask with dangling friendship bracelets attached to the lid, has her hair tied back using a scrunchie, and shuffles around in Birkenstocks. I thought of these pop culture jokes combined, would be an amusing little gift to pass around to my friends. I valued using my skills I learned on Illustrator to create something I could easily make again in the future. These stickers and this project in general made it possible to use my artistic ability and learn how to make something I've always been curious about. The technology is right at my fingertips.
