Like billboards, bumper stickers must be read at a glance, by other drivers and feature a central concept.

Simply printing DUMP TRUMP would be far more effective.

Black on white is more quickly processed by the brain. Then, the white on black will be read more easily.

Put the black on white on the top, since people read left to right, top to bottom.

there is a big difference in price when i order more of the same design.

i'm hoping i need to do a 2nd printing at some point; i'm going to sell them for $2 each or $1 each if you buy a bunch.

Dump TrumPutin
Ditch Moscow Mitch

and possibly throw in something about Leningrad Lindsey... Don't know what the verb should be.

and the white areas would be red. (still only paying for two colors, but my partner just pointed out the white would be the paper, so cheaper... )

Now they are literally tied to Russia.

Unless the turd supporters won't get "TrumPutin"... They are not very bright.



otherwise, #1

The white against black with "dump trump" fills up more space with more letters than the top one and so seems dominant to the eye.

DUMP TRUMP is heavier impact and more balanced.

How will you be distributing these stickers?

I found a source on the internet with instructions on How to Make Your Own Bumper Stickers, if you want to expand to bumper stickers.


GREAT IDEA ---GOOD LUCK!

Not criticizing, just saying. I think that format is available on here? Then you don't have to do all that tedious counting.

You need to make more space around the letters and otger subtke tweaks. Hire someone who went through 4 years of graphic design training?

That one is not an easy read for something someone must read quickly and maybe from a distance.

(I'm assuming it's a bumper sticker)

Ditching rich Moscow Mitch needs to be the bolder message because he's evil, conniving, and knows how to manipulate the rules. Everybody knows Trump is the dump who needs to be dumped.
