Created a Simple yet fimiliar funny design: Stay Sober shirt. What do you think?
Whatâs this about?

Itâs a commmon t-shirt on sale in a lot of places.
Either @maxhar has innocently (yet perfectly) replicated a played out design by accident and rushed to get feedback on here. Or, for some reason, heâs copy-pasting an image off google and posting it here for no reason. OR! He created the original and is sharing it here after making millions selling it worldwide already.
No scenario makes sense.
I know this design already exist on the internet. I just replicated the design and shared it here for fun. I hope you guys wonât mind. Thanks
Iâd be more impressed in a ripped off copy of something from the internet if it were harder to replicate.
It would help if you learned how to do displacement maps on t-shirts so they look more real.
Other than that - itâs text on a t-shirt.
Not much to say.
Iâm a little bit behind. This a promotion for a certain Japanese buckwheat noodle?
Once you go sobaâŠ
I have to admit I do not understand the meaning of the word âsoberâ.
Ok so Iâm just gonna take this seriously for a second.
The only posts Iâve seen from @maxhar are this and the Wish You Were Beer t-shirt design.
So, assuming youâre interested in getting into t-shirt designs Iâd say itâs a crowded market at best. Practicing your skills is a great first step, but itâs the idea that sells these things more than anything else and replicating things that are popular isnât really going to help you in the long term.
I think youâd benefit from making an original design from scratch. It doesnât have to reinvent the wheel, but youâll get more out of it than what youâre doing right now. Even if you liked the look of a certain bit of typography and took inspiration from that to work with a totally different phrase or whatever. Get creative and have fun with it.
Not to mention the legality, at least in this instance, of copying otherâs art to reproduce and make money. That is generally frowned upon. And when someone says, âEveryone else is doing that,â just look at all the grandmas Disney took out for Baby Yoda
At the very least you get a Cease and Desist. Worse, court.
Itâs also not helping that Iâve woken up at nearly midnight, having gone for lunch with friends at 1pm and finishing one restaurant and two pubs later at 7pm. I donât understand what it means.
