"Kill the Competition" Sticker

Designed by Jimmy Rodriguez

The concept behind this sticker is pretty self explanatory.

Kill the competition, the quote used here can be easily interpreted as a challenge for us to do our best and stand out to reach success.In literal terms the artwork is represented with a mouse that resembles Mickey Mouse killing Jerry. Jerry is the mouse from the old school tv show "Tom and Jerry". It is pretty obvious that Jerry is the competition of Mickey Mouse and therefore we are presented with the idea that in order for Mickey to succeed he must get rid of Jerry. It might not be such a nice concept after all however, that does not mean that us as civilized humans will go out there on a killing spree to gain what we desire. The crowd that this design is intended for and speaks to will be the people that have goals and challenges that they must surpass in order to get what they want and are willing to work for. It is a design that will most likely remind the public that in order to succeed you must kill the competition and brace yourself for what your path might bring along. The colors used in this design are quite vibrant they also are used to demonstrate to us who is who and are able to help us connect the quote to the visual portion of the design. It is a pretty graphic design with some violence tucked in but, it definitely helps us understand it. As a critic, the visual design works and it is easily understanded by those who are connected and know who Jerry or Mickey are. Even if the audience has no clue on who the characters are, the design itself is self explanatory that one mouse has killed another mouse. The design itself doesn't need any updates or further improvements the artist made a great choice at keeping it simple and direct.
