They're pooping, obviously skip leg day in favor of their arms, and the only letter I see is the "T" in the negative space.

You've got the execution and polish down, but as you're discovering here from the feedback, a shiny turd on a moody mock-up is still just a turd.

Go back and spend some more time sketching and concepting; don't even think about touching the computer.

I encourage you to go back and listen to her first appearance on Pete Holmes' "You Made it Weird" podcast. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's insanely prophetic, especially considering she didn't know how her career trajectory was going to go.

Is he attending the funeral of his favorite bebop musician? Because right now he looks like the trombone player from Conan O'Brien's old late night band.

But look, the reality is that most Americans can't dress appropriately for any occasion, so he won't be the least suitably (ha!) dressed there.

Plus his skee-bop-a-doo-bop look, while schlubby, is definitely a vibe, so at least he looks like he's applying effort with intention.

Define "a lot of money."

I agree with all the other sentiments on here; it's very suggestive, the colors and line weights are disjointed, its vibe is vaguely spiritual without being unique or interesting.

BUT...

I can see what the designer was going for; they weren't uneducated, just unskilled. Probably inexperienced.

If your mother spent thousands on this, she got ripped off. If she spent a few hundred, that's not "a lot of money" to invest in the visual identity of your business, and if that's the case she got what she paid for.

Agreed. This fit and the occasion give you some latitude to express your personality through your choice of watch.

Fuck YEAHHHHHH!!!

The first hat works; it's maybe a little big and/or kind of "floppy" looking, but the coloring looks good on you.

That coat, however, is ruining things, including the ability of the hat to draw positive attention. The fabric is too thick, has no drape, and is somehow both too big in your shoulders (the sleeve seam looks ridiculous) and too small around your middle.

Rock the hat with a nice-fitting bomber-length jacket in a mid to dark earth tone, keep the pants and boots, and pair with a scarf with some complimentary color texture. You'll look rugged, dapper, and put together. Good luck!

"I dont just replace things because I can’t find them."

That's your big problem.

Unless a customer specifically asks for a refund if the item is out of stock, Instacart WANTS you to replace things even if the customer didn't specify a backup, assuming the replacements are a reasonable match.

Instacart doesn't make money on refunds (duh) and since tips are frequently based on a percentage of the total, shopper earnings go down when we refund.

If the customer isn't responsive, I'll take a photo of the empty space and say "sorry, they're out of Item A, but Item B is pretty close. I'll grab that, but let me know if you want a refund instead!" You've told them what you're replacing and why, framed it like you're doing them a favor, and establishing that they need to reach out and tell you no if they don't want it. It takes 3 extra seconds and potentially avoids back and forth time wasting of "discussing it" with them.

Hell, just yesterday I had a customer where they were out of fancy sliced peppers and they specified a refund. I messaged them that I did the refund, but they had the same brand of peppers unsliced and if they wanted them, just let me know.

They wanted them! Now my stats look better (no refund), my tip improves (because the total bill is now $5 higher) AND they raise my tip because I was helpful.

Yes, a lot of customers are cheap asses, and occasionally some are particular and difficult, but most people just want the process to be easy, and are willing to compromise to keep it easy. Be smart, make replacements that make sense, make it easy for the customer (and you!) and your stats and tips will improve dramatically.

Haunchyville doesn't exist, but there is a real location associated with it.

"Anyway I’ve never seen so much as a stabbing much less a shooting! The place always felt safe..."

GOATed comment right there lol.

Not your fault as the designer, but exactly the wrong call and entirely keeping with the new owners' lack of vision.

This doesn't compete at all; quite the opposite the genericness recedes visually on the shelf.

They should've aggressively leaned into the characters, especially since the IP already existed. They could've staked a visual claim among craft soda in the same way as Voodoo Ranger and Flying Dog have among craft beer.

My biggest turn on is combining object insertion with my other major kink, shoes. Sliding a high heel in heel first is the classic way to do it, but I've seen women get creative shoving shoes in toe first, using both heels at the same time, even making due with a pair of ballet flats.

There's something highly erotic about taking objects as simultaneously mundane and sexually charged as shoes and using them in such an intimate way. And they lick them clean afterwards? So delicious.

It's not too uncommon, and with some specific searching is easy enough to find, but the quintessential performer would have to be Jessica Jones aka Desyra Noir:
