What is Smudge Mart?
Smudge Mart is a project that examines consumer behavior through the lens of "cute" marketing. By combining cats, pastel colors, and silliness with basic grocery necessities, Smudge Mart tries to make the mudane appealing.Â
Â
Note: Smudge Mart is completely hypothetical, but I wish it were real. Except for the whole eating cats thing- NEVER A FAN OF THAT!
