Thanks a lot everyone! Anyone who has worked in any sort of corporate office for any amount of time should understand/relate to this even more haha.

I love this one. I like the color version, black and white would be too plain. Gotta have this one!

Thanks a lot man! I was really impressed with how the placement turned out too. I tried it just across the front and didn't like it near as much.

I dig the black/gray version. I've never worked in the corporate world..... this design pulled the phrase "Power Suit" to the front of my mind. Is that the conformity joke? The whole dress for success thing? Nice work.

I can't believe I actually like a mized-media silhouette tee with power lines and birdies/splotches! Really nice combo and different poses, I like what it says of the suited mentality.

You all are awesome! I'm really glad you like it. It sounds like grey is the most popular of the color choices.



I worked in a corporate office for 2 years as an intern, and within a week I noticed that the higher up people in the firm acted as though they lived at a higher level too.

Being around that all the time inspired my original sketch of this.

The suited men with the power lines connecting them at the head represents the corporate high class; either you're in or you're not, people who live to impress.

I chose to use a silhouette as a sense of starkness/bluntness to the message.

The chunks of the suits flying out from the men and the breaking apart of the wires is quite obviously representing a breaking apart of the conformity.
