It makes perfect sense, right? An apparently drug induced sloth acting anti-socially around friends and family to highlight the pitfalls of pot.
Well the emergence of #StonerSloth as part of the New South Wales state government's anti-marijuana campaign was in fact met with equal measures of confusion and scorn when it was released late last year. Surprise!
The character and concept were branded bizarre, and despite the justifications of the creative agency behind them, the whole campaign went viral for all the wrong reasons.
Everything from videos to t-shirts were produced starring #StonerSloth, and here at DesignCrowd, we thought we'd have some fun by asking our designers to imagine the agender creature in alternative scenes and settings.
Launching the Photoshop contest on our new Community pages, we received a whole line-up of quality designs with more than a bit of tongue in cheek.
