Once upon a time, long ago, I was asked to do some art for a new piece of software at work. Great. Peachy, I thought. I whipped together some fantastic mockups, complete with photographs I "borrowed" purely for the sake of the mocking of the up, and showed it to the execs. They loved it and dove head first in to the project, design specs in hand.
It turns out that some weeks later I find said, now functional, software has replaced "borrowed" pictures with new photos taken of co-workers. Same poses, same coloring, same everything. It just so happens that the front page of the software has a picture of a co-worker who happens to have a neck, photoshopped to look like a giraffe = aka Margaret's neck. Seriously, I have the longest neck of anyone I've ever met.
So now that the entire world has seen the front page of the app, I'm wondering how long I'll have to endure this whole, "Dude, you put yourself on the front of your own software" thing. Its been 3 months so far, and at least once a week I go through this conversation: "No, it's not me. No, it's not my photograph. Yes, I did the artwork. No, I didn't put myself on the front page." I think it's absolutely hilarious ;-)
Random musings for a Tuesday. Anyone else randomly musing?
