And this is the last one, with the face powder. Notice that the powder has no shadows; and the powder inside the powder was still white (at the time that my AD killed the concept). These two were made over a period of two hours with nothing to guide me aside from the previous 6 days' ass fucking and the phrase "Metro Makeover Sale, or Metro Makeover Price Cut. Something like that."
update 2007-05-09 : just want to point out that (ages ago) I retackled this concept and created "Metro Powder Redux". Oh and I've recategorized this work from "miscellaneous vector" to "advertising". I feel the category more accurately describes this print-ad, I guess...
But looking back on the two designs, more than two years after the fact, I can't help but personally feel this version is more honest...
(But I'm still not convinced that I need brainwashing/reprogramming even more)
