Symphonic metal lacks substantial research outside of music theory. To give examples of visual expression associated with the genre this essay has, through a case together with the symphonic metal band Emetropia and using co-design methods produced a t-shirt. A preliminary study showed that the largest proportion of band merch in metal is black with a band name or band logo. Interviews with two of Emetropia's band members inspired the content of a co-design workshop, where five participants from different countries representing musicians and fans of symphonic metal were tasked with delving into their experiences of the genre. They participated in the workshop where they designed proposals for band merch suitable for symphonic metal. Analysis of the participants' artifacts then inspired a design that was evaluated by the five workshop participants and two of Emetropia's band members. The evaluation showed that the final design represents the identity of a symphonic metal fan. The result was a black T-shirt, with Emetropia's band logo and a design that, based on the workshop analysis, contained symbols associated with nature, mythology and fantasy. / <p>Examensarbetet är utfört vid Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap (ITN) vid Tekniska fakulteten, Linköpings universitet</p>
