too clean-cut for me, i wish there was more style to this. like neon brain-waves emiting from the tv and stuff...

I agree with ginette, it's a good start but it needs more for sure.

Thanks for the feedback! Er, I guess people don't like yellow too much--I had the same comment as a critique. If this one doesn't make it I'll try a different colour shirt and maybe some waves and/or bubble nuances. I like things as simple as they can be, myself.

Yup, ginette's right...more neon 50's paranoia and it would be a great design. I'd love to see a row of these and a 50's woman opening one of the tv's up like in a laundromat, but either way it's a strong image.

that's an appealing thought---but I'd be afraid that people would mistake the design as a strait-up satire of a 50s conspiracy theory magazine?

Perhaps a darker color, maybe something to draw attention more to the tv, like little waves or something

Aha, awesome concept!

I agree that the yellow is icky and that the design could be made a little more interesting... be careful of adding too much, though, because I do like the simplicity of it.

wtf yellow. Yellow is beautiful. You all have clearly been brainwashed by TV to hate yellow.

I needed the title to get the joke, because I simply didn't see that it was washing the brains. All I saw was TV with brains in it.

Yeah, I could see that. If I have to bring it to a resubmission I'll work on making it a little more obvious. Maybe some suds or a box of detergent?

Ah well. Thanks for voting and the comments! I think I'll be reworking this one a bit. At least a different color and some other nuances.
