Nothing Sacred: Impeach Obama

Friday, June 13th, 2008

While Barack Obama appears by far the lesser of evils in the upcoming election, I can’t resist having a little fun at the expense of his cult of personality. It strikes me that anticipating his election, and in keeping with his message of change, someone should get in on the ground floor of the Impeach Obama bandwagon.

So here are some of the campaign materials we’ll be needing, first of all, a bumper sticker:

And we’ll need a good slogan:

“All the Rage” Teeshirt

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Here’s teeshirt design done for the good folks at Mad River Farm.
What you see is the rendered design, the pencil proof, and an alternate design.

Rendered: It still needs the company logo along the bottom and a few tweaks.

Rough: Here’s another rough for the Mad River Farm jams and jellies teeshirt. I toyed with different phrases to go with “Jam it!”:
“Save some for the boss!’;
“Give someone a ration!”;
“Whisper sweet nothings!”
I settled on this somewhat wordier version, “…all the rage.”

The company logo will go below the artwork. Personally, I’d just leave the slogan “Jam it!” all alone, but it’s probably a bit too attitudinal.

Alternative: About the only current work I’m at liberty to post is a project designing teeshirt art for Mad River Farm, local purveyors of jams, jellies and sauces. This is just the first rough design. Of course the company logo will go below as part of the final. I’m going for something whimsical, such that that people won’t feel so much like they’re wearing an advertisement. The design will appear on a small run of summer promotional teeshirts. Here’s the first rough:
