Clouds in the Sky: Designer Sighting?

April 01, 2006

Burberry Cloud Sketch Rendering

Call me crazy (no, really) but on the plane ride home from my trip, I saw clouds that looked plaid. Stratus clouds were in just a few, really thin strips. So I thought, "Burberry clouds!" I'm daft. :-)

I drew a sketch as best I could, but it can't really depict the beauty well at all.

Graphic Re-Stylist: Plus Size

April 01, 2006

In response to a complaint, I must comply and remove the edited images that were below.

I know, it might be very wrong to take an ad from a new advertiser and "butcher" it, but I must meddle! I must tweak! I must ... perfect!!!

I feel compelled to act as a stylist and edit this picture of plus size fashion:

Old Navy Natural Plus Size Ad

In the first picture, the woman's sizable hips are accentuated with a boho belt. I labored over my Photoshop and put the belt at her waist. Her thighs are the same size, but our eyes gloss over them under a neutral, loose skirt. Meanwhile, even being a wrap, the original image's sweater was too loose. My belt nips her in. Making it lighter defines it more (aside from showing you it's even there :-P). Finally, a straight, hanging-vertical end to the belt helps a bit to elongate her figure, which is slimming. This works much better than, say, a bow which can add width.

(By the way, you can still reach the advertised store, Old Navy, from the image. 0:-).)

To make things perfect, I took the suggestion of commenter #3, OCD Shopper, about the necklace clashing with the now-higher belt. I made this image:
