    yeah but, from a design perspective try to analyse it

    a super man knock off (good) is giving you a phone (neutral) but he’s crossed off (bad) and has earphones hanging on his neck (why) and there’s a “don’t be distracted” sign (good) but again the superman knockoff is giving you a phone, why is the superhero doing a bad thing here?

    the visual language is all over the place. A positive mascot doesn’t fit at all here. This should be a villain offering you the phone & should colour coded appropriately. The Evil Distraction Man shouldn’t look like a superhero, it deeply muddles the intended message

    PSA posters are not really a place for trying to subvert audience’s expectations of superman knock off’s moral standing
