what are you working on right now?

Whether it is a personal project or work work. What are you into at the moment?

Feel free to keep it general if you are working on a campaign or something hushy. We don't want anyone to get in trouble.

Re: what are you working on right now?

for work, right now, I'm in hair-hell. One for a major shampoo which went pretty well, but another for a major (but budget) hair color that is just hell.

To keep sane, I'm helping on an editorial story for a European edition of a very high end fashion magazine (easy one to figure out, but still gotta be hush-hush) of a 90s European supermodel.

Personal projects, none at the moment. I like to spend my free time hiking and off the computer, when I can.

What about you, Ant? What are you working on now?

Re: what are you working on right now?

A brochure for a local resort. This guy is so cheap!!! He's paying me to re-set his current brochure and give him the PDF so he can print copies out on his all in one printer 3 or 4 at a time!!

AND, get this, this is a lake front mom and pop "cottages" resort and he doesn't want pictures??? He says folks can go to the web to see the pictures. Now let me ask you. Are you going to READ a brochure or look at pictures first? Honestly, it looks like an IRS brochure telling you how to deal with line 34, sub paragraph B on From K! Ugh!

Re: what are you working on right now?

uh, yeah, no photos on a travel brochure? I'd be surprised if even one person took the time to look through it.

Re: what are you working on right now?

Sorry Swampy. It's too bad that we can't give our clients taste or make them smarter.

I'm into a 3.5' lifestyle for a major makeup company. Worse part is that it will be 6 feet tall in the end. Tons of skin and a composition of 12 different elements. Splitting time between this and a magazine spread with another 10 different elements in addition to the beauty. They just changed direction on me Friday. I swear that some ad agencies put together campaigns from their wet dreams..

Finished a beauty story for a well known women's mag Thursday.

Veed, I know hair hell. We/I do a ton and the subjects here are always thrown into a new background.

Re: what are you working on right now?

I don't know if I could deal with hair day after day, Ant. I think it would drive me nuts!

Re: what are you working on right now?

i just had my first celeb shot published in elle. felt really good.

*one thing i hate about hair jobs, like ant said always stripped into a new background, is when you get this great looking mask that works well with the background, and out of nowehre they change the layout and the background color at the last minute, and now your mask doesn't work so great...and you have to finesse it again.

Re: what are you working on right now?

This thread is what I need. I'm currently compositing a globe, from various elements of adidas tracksuits and shoes.

This means creating the outline of a map of all countries in stitching. The tiny little stitching that is on your shoes..... I've been at this for 2 days now and it's absolutely doing my head in.

To make things worse we went from a round globe to a lozenge shaped one, so I reshot the texture and make a new shape, only to be told that we're now switching back to a round globe, except it has to be a different texture again....

Getting sick of running up and down the stairs to the photography studio....

Other than that, I'm making a flyer for one of the PA's daughter's birthday.

Re: what are you working on right now?

KR, I just hope it wasn't Avril Lavigne. That little girl annoys me.

Agreed, Ant, about being nuts to work on hair day in and day out. I know what u guys mean about changing hair masks. I seem to get all the big hair clients, cuz of my past experience retouching in-house for an advertising agency. And of course, yesterday, the client wanted the loose wavy, flowy locks 'changed' to short, springy tight curly locks, and raised up from her breasts to her shoulders.

WHY can't they be better creative directors and get it PHOTOGRAPHED this way? i'm sure everyone else can relate.

I really want to work on editorials with supermodels like the guys sitting next to me, but the hair/beauty stuff are bigger clients, so they give them to me, unfortunately... haha.
