Hi all! Back again with another t-shirt design.
Attachment 132921
My question is: The title of the design is "Get Lit Responsibly", and I was thinking of adding it to the bottom of the design. But does the design need it? Does the gag work fine without it? Thanks again for the feedback!
Good message. At first I thought they were eggs drinking egg nog. But lights work great.
Hmmm...it didn't occur to me that someone might not know those are Christmas lights.
I've added text and some holly. Better?

I looked at your design - I thought 'christmas lights' ... so where is the wiring? - then I thought if they are 'roped together' with wiring maybe they should be scaling a tree.....
It's the way my mind 'works' ... :D
Hi again!
I've made some changes to the design. I think it works better now. Thoughts?

a lot better :)
Thanks! Hopefully I'll sell a few t-shirts of it! :)Quote:

Not when they're speeding and swerving down your way raving drunk!Quote:

I cannot argue with that, although I think you might have missed the irony because you skated over the second part of my postQuote:

it is fun now; before didactic maybe - always TC's call.....
But both designs carry a message: Drink responsibly and Get drunk.Quote:

there isn't any suggestion in the drawing of vehicles at all, it would not even have cropped up if were not for the first take....
[you could maybe stick an e on the end of lit.. nah just kiddin' it's christmas :)]
I agree with Boy. The latest version carries no drink-driving message, in fact the opposite. The designated driver icon now looks like he's taking a beer from the bulb on his left, he's joining in. "Let's get lit", is it an American term?
but there is no designated driver icon anymore is there, TC has changed his mind and direction
I am judging this as a piece of art, not a public service announcement, whichever way TC want's to go that's up to him, what is for sure is that the second take, as art, is a lot better....
I like them both, TC. Either would look great on a T shirt.
