This is the latest in a batch of steampunk graphics and will go on Zazzle when it is done. It’s nowhere even close to being finished. But finally I hit on the right combination of exposure, contrast, emphasis, composition – and something that was just wrong for so long became very very right in my mind. I am not ordinarily extremely happy with a graphic but the foil matched up with the paper so well that I did a double-take – I thought I had somehow cut a layer out of the foil and accidentally blended it with the paper.
Advert text will read something like this:
What governs your life?
Something missing?
Take a spin with
Dr. Lemur’s Chocolate – Geared for women.
HA!!! Perfect advert
And yes, the foil was very realistic. Had me doing a double-take, too.
I’ve never gotten a come-hither look from a piece of chocolate before. Bravo, LK!
I was really clueless going into this one. I kept saying to Cruel Wife “Ok, say you were a chocolate-addicted woman…”
And I’d stop and say “Well that sure seems redundant” and then “But you ARE exactly that, so this sure sounds like a stupid question, but anyways…”
And then I’d say that over and over again, each time with different shadings, compositions, and effects.
By golly, if it doesn’t have the Cruel Wife and Aggie stamp of approval it can’t be good.
