1. Less is more
Looks fine just as it is.


All I can think is that this asshole and his administration think that the Chinese Cultural Revolution wasn't violent enough.

3. Nah
the way it is, it leaves so much room for the viewer to add their own comment/thought bubble/interpretation, that it works much better.

Unless you're making a specific editorial point, go for the artistic route and leave room for people to enter the image on their own.

4. If we don't get rid of him next year...
We are really in trouble. He's seriously making enemies of the whole damn world, and there's a limit to how far even "we" can push the rest of the world around. One day, if this continues, we are going to see the entire world unite against the USA, and we won't look quite so tough after all. Have I said tonight how much I hate these people?

7. I like that! And also quotes around United
That would be just subtle enough, but scathing enough, to still work very well.

8. I was thinking on removing the "P"
To make it "resident." But I couldn't think of how to make the other letters wrap around. :shrug:

9. Play around witrh the hues....
Change the forward layer of the Crawford Chimp to a more orangy reddish tone to match the background. Add some interesting catch text..

10. As far as Photoshop goes,
you might wanna use the airbrush tool on "color" mode at about 45% intensity to give the sides of Chimpy's face and body the effect of reflecting the orange of the blast--think "Incredible Hulk origin shot." Just select the brightest orange in the background as the color to be layered on.
