This is my first time submitting for a specific competition. I decided to take my cue from the song and video 'Bomb. Repeat. Bomb.' and make a political shirt. People in Iraq right now - soldiers and civilians, Iraqi, American, and their respective allies - are living with death all around them. The way I interpreted the album's title is that the rest of us are lucky to be 'living with the living'.

The line that struck me the most in 'Bomb.Repeat.Bomb' is, 'You won't have to know a thing about who's dead'. I tried to convey that sentiment here.
The theme of my design is how the US media and government treat the public like babies by shielding us from some of the war's more upsetting aspects and by presenting 'the enemy' as faceless (that gunman's head is in the shape of Iraq).

If you've seen the video you'll recognize the use of rectangles. For the lower left rectangle, I assembled images of Iraqi people suffering as a result of the war.

Please check out a close-up of the design and other shirt colors here:

Thanks!

Hey, cool ideas but I don't think this design works. It's too busy, I think that the type of person that is going to get this probably has already thought this same thought, so something much simpler (for instance the words "everything is fine", or a simple representational design ) would trigger thoughts in your niche audience and similar conclusions would be drawn and you'd be left with a nicer, cleaner design.

jojai: Thanks for your comments. Actually, this occurred to me too. That's why I'll also be submitting the baby square by itself later today.

Eh. Too complex. Also-- too political. I hate wearing political stuff.

I reckon you ditch the first three panels and just keep the baby.
