Fufteen Croncepts

in case these are illegible from top left to bottom right, they say: "This bull met his end at the hands of a matador...He will never be able to vote.", "It's easier than fighting a giant Bull. Vote", "Education...Bull...If you can make that choice you can vote", "An election without your vote is like a matador without his cape...Worthless!", "You have plenty of time. In Fact how about you don't...VOTE."
"Peace...Vote", "Take some time off...Vote", "No Choice...Vote", "An election without your vote is like a Luchador without muscles...Worthless", "I'd rather fight him than vote."

"Voting: It's as easy as swinging a stick. All you have to do is pick", "Pinata...Peace...Know what your voting for", "This is your country...This is your country without your vote", "Fiesta...Vote", "An Election without your vote is like a pinata that holds one piece of candy...Worthless."

most of the bull ideas take too much explanation to operate very well. it's like telling someone why a joke is funny. i wonder if you can simplify the ideas or the writing to allow the viewer the ability to make the connection. the last one -- hourglass voting booth -- is the best of this bunch. but i still think you can greatly simplify the copy. given that pun, what could you say about voting?

"take some time off" is pretty funny, but still makes perfect sense. are there other, clearly hispanic, occupations that would make sense here? is this synecdoche since it's one person representing the whole demographic? the luchadore with the "vote" tattoo looks like a bit of a mexi-parody, which could be funny. the skinny luchadore is pretty funny, but too much explanatory text. i don't get the last one. is it supposed to be ironic?

the democratic/republican piñatas are pretty good. too much copy again. a word or two is really all you'd need with this. which words will they be? the piñata with real guts is gross, but funny in a sick way. i don't think it will work though. what's the bottom left? a piñata with a hole shot in it? what's coming out? hard to make sense of this one.

best ones:
hourglass voting booth
lucha mask on hatrack
"no choice" lucha. change copy though.
ironic/skinny lucha. simplify copy though.
democrat/republican piñatas
