Sign up is Closed for the Disclaimer Illustration Game. For the participants, here's what's going on!

The rules are simple. You receive a product, and a warning/disclaimer label that exists on said product. Then it's your job to create an image that represents some aspect of how that label came to be on the product. It can be anything from the moron who sued the company for lack of warnings to the over-thinking executive that just thought the instructions needed to be clearer.

Your assignments were randomly generated from a list of 50 (YES FIFTY) ridiculous and actual warning labels that exist on products. (And believe me, there were many many more, I just cut it off at 50).


Katie's product is a Toner Cartridge for a laser printer.
The disclaimer is "Do not eat toner."

Kimashin's product is a Rowenta Iron (for ironing cloths).
The disclaimer is "Warning: Never iron cloths on the body."

Inkay's product is a Road Sign,
which states "Caution: Water on road during rain."
*ah duurrr

Kaffrin's product is a Frisbee.
The disclaimer is "Warning: May contain small parts."
*This one is just weird

Sean's product is a blanket from Taiwan.
This disclaimer is "not to be used as protection from a tornado"

Teh Mutt's product is a Chainsaw.
The disclaimer is "Do not attempt to stop chain with hands."

Mike's product is a Korean kitchen knife.
The disclaimer is "Warning: keep out of children."
*not people, just children..

Vee-Ka-Torz product is a Manual for a SGI computer.
The disclaimer is "Do not dangle the mouse by its cable or throw the mouse at co-workers."


There was also a bonus product for anyone feeling the need to make two:

The bonus product is a Japanese food processor.
The disclaimer is "Not to be used for the other use."


Finished illustrations must be sent in to Katie's email by Monday, March 22nd at 11:59 PM to be counted.

Thanks for your participation, and I look forward to seeing the results!
