sketch

• Use close up pictures of people (big and in your face, with the product)
• Don’t use pictures that show the backs of people who are the most prominent or the focal point.
• Don’t put Red on Blue

Susan L. Smith, Associate Designer, in HOW Magazine, April 2007:

The more I accept that inspiration is elusive, the less I go looking and the more I simply wait for it to find me. Sometimes, we look so hard for something that we miss it. So I’m learning to be OK with the unanswered and the unpredictable and the inconsistent. I’ve realized that sometimes asking questions is more inspiring than having all the answers.
