A friend of mine is workin on a brief for BBC3, they are doing a concept called monday proof. Idea being that you'll enjoy Sunday nights so much, nothing can stop you on mondays... (sort of I think)

Anyway, I had a couple of thoughts for a t-shirt they were thinkin of doing.

Thoughts please:

The 2nd one fits better with the 'monday proof' concept, the lines/flashes coming from behind the man give him an air of invicibility. I'd say to work on the images behind him as its not clear what they are : the one on the right you can tell is the water shooting in his face but the left one is less clear.
You should work on the actual feelings of a monday more : less accident prone but more tiredness, grumpiness etc. Maybe some groggy eyes, messed up hair, running late - that sort of theme.
I like the colours and idea though

Cheers oli.

I used the disasters, because the idea was that what ever incidents happen in the office, nothin can distract you.

Maybe thats too much to put into a simple graphic illustration.

Thanks for the comments though.

In that case, Id keep the water one on the right and change the head in basket one for simply someone skidding as if they are about to fall over ( maybe on a banana skin ?

)

yeah, or a tie stuck in a shredder?

By the way, hows it goin oli? Been a while since i've visited here. Its lookin good.

oli · 23-01-2004, 03:46

Im good mate, getting there

Tie in a shredder might be another hard one to illustrate clearly, as they are stick men I'd try and keep it as simple as possible.

breadlegs · 23-01-2004, 03:48

is the bloke fallen off his chair on the first one clear?

oli · 23-01-2004, 03:49

yeah clearer than the head in a basket - I saw that as a hand sticking up its finger at first. ( it is early and I am a bit hungover though )

not sure mate - think the "safety" men icon is a bit dated personally.

better off commissioning or doing some freeline illustration yourself.
