Almost Famous

I can’t hold it in any longer… I must publish the photo! I was going to do a promotional Eighth Page (about 4.25″x2.75″) full color glossy for The House, using this beautiful picture as a background, over which to set various opaque blocks, outlines, etc., containing the informational text.

The intended design was something like this. [they send a postcard of the background design].

Lo, however – the decision makers that be decided against the head, after being shown the first rough, with a little text hither and thither. That was absolutely alright, though. I went back to the drawing board [photoshop] and came up with something that was apparently (I wasn’t there) absolutely stunning.

Lesson 1: don’t give up when people don’t agree right away.
Lesson 2: just because the back of your head was unknowingly shot in a picture, doesn’t mean that the back of your head will become famous. Some people might not like it. = )
