Company MD Models for Cover
Have you seen that ad on the TV for Bob Jane T-Mart, where they say, "Most company directors spend their weekends like this", and then shows peiple fishing or playing tennis. Then they say, "But not ours ...", showing the Bob Jane guy racing Euro-sports cars? No? Oh well ...
Many of you will know my growing aversion to doing design in the realm of print - simply because I love the flexibility of the web too much. Once you publish a site, you can simply change a typo in a matter of seconds and it's fixed. If you print 10,000 copis of a magazine and there's something wrong, then you've got some serious client-relationship issues to attend to!
Well recently we helped out a mate of mine with a book cover. We ended up coming up with a concept, and shot some mock-up photography to demonstrate the idea. Well blow me down if they didn't love it so much that they kept it in ... and wham bam I'm a cover model :)
The book however deals with prison reform, so I'm looking suitably "criminal" on the cover, and even went the digital extra-mile to tatoo the word "HATE" on my knuckles. The book is called "Corrected or Corrupted? Life Behind Bars" and is written by the extraordinary suburban-mum, Rowena Solomon (from Esteem Consulting).

i like the way 'hate' has been tattooed onto a hand that looks like it hasn't spent much more than a few hours out of contact with a keyboard. go on, confess dale, you sleep with your bluetooth mouse in one hand and the fingers of your left hand resting somewhere in the region of the letters 'a,s,d,f' on your matching keyboard, don't you?? i say in the region because of your inability to touch type - you developers are all the same......try a conversation about anything other than music or computers and you get a syntax error!
nice to see you got one up on cj tho ;)
No Mikey, I had my fingers tatooed like that so that clients would think twice before giving me the run around on projects :) It's true though, my hands wouldn't last an hour in the big house - I have soft geek hands even after 19 years of drumming. There you go - a conversation involving both computers and music :)
