If at First You Don’t Succeed, Lower the Bar - Framed Poster

A witty framed poster for the ambitious realist—the person who keeps pushing forward, even when success feels just out of reach. Featuring a joyful, retro-inspired illustration of a determined character mid-struggle and the cheeky message, “If at first you don’t succeed, lower the bar,” it brings humor and personality to an office, studio, dorm room, or creative workspace. The bold lettering and playful movement make it an instant conversation starter, while the framed presentation gives the joke a polished place on the wall. A lighthearted nod to imperfect progress, lowered expectations, and finding something to laugh about along the way.

Care instructions

- If the poster does gather any dust, you may wipe it off gently with a clean, dry cloth. To remove spots or smudges from acrylic or glass, we recommend applying glass cleaner to a clean, soft, dry cloth or paper towel and then to the surface so that the cleaner does not settle on the frame, then buff the surface dry to remove any streaks.
