Message from God


Message from God

Ugh. Let me count the ways this is wrong.

1. If God was going to pay $2000/month for a billboard, I’m sure he/she wouldn’t use it to waste my time with a cliché and a bad joke.

2. The design looks like a message from Darth Vader, not God.

3. There is foot mark in “it’s” where an apostrophe belongs. If you’re going to make a design from pure typography - read a book about it!

4. A billboard company is bringing me the wit of God? No. This company has a crew that travels around repairing billboards during thunderstorms and tornados in the middle of the night to get around a law designed to remove these eyesores when they are damaged by natural causes (i.e. God).

5. Was this the best location for a creator to take credit? Here? The grandeur of Airport Blvd. and N. Lamar?
