About my design

by Jai Star
Just a little Social Commentary. Hope you all enjoy it. :D

I like the social commentary, but the design just isn't any good

that's quite a bigoted view of Africa... they're not all starving children holding guns

Response to fuzzball136: That's why there's the 'Or'(s) there. Each part of Africa wants something different, right? So, Africa, as a whole, will go for any one of the options. Once the one group manages to start working towards it, the rest will take the example, or at least, so it would be in a perfect world. But thank you for the comment all the same!



And to MagusMaster: Then why bother commenting at all? I appreciate that some people don't like it, but wouldn't it just be better to not point it out, and just give me a Zero and be on your way? Thank you for your input though.

I love, love, love social commentary and the concept, yet the illustration and artwork doesn't do it justice; however, perhaps some refining and it could be on its way to a print, but Threadless doesn't enjoy such serious things.





Anyways, I like it! ;D

Love it, but maybe spend a little more time on Africa's extremities.

Eek. Not all of Africa is looking for help, dude. I'd prefer if all the continents were there expressing their needs through signs. Why single out Africa? Even Antarctica has problems...

I like it, but i agree with mjoo, the whole bloody world has problems, though I will admit Africa has more than others. A global map seems like a good idea

according to your design, i live in the asshole of africa. and yeah, it's like saying the WHOLE of the american continent is starbucks and macdonalds. you cant make such a broad generalisation about a continent, never mind a country...



don't get me wrong- as an african i appreciate it when people from elsewhere in the world even know we exist, but things like this just further the stereotype of a continent unable to pull itself together. i think if you ever visited south africa (for example) you would see a very different picture.



just my 5cents.
