Can we do a blog quiz?

We are trying out some ways of communicating and being interactive. This is one of Tanya's ideas... Still working on the beauty part. Possibly it's useful.

Is it fun to have a blog-based competition or poll or survey?	Yep Nope

Hate to say it but image editing sucks.

My chinese star sign is an Ox - which means I'm supposed to be good at hard slog work - but the relentless boringness of it seems to have done me in... So edit-Matt is taking a few days off editing and doing something much more creative instead - revamping our websites. I'm putting some concepts together then sending them to Tanya in Hong Kong to make work. I was thinking something fun, but elegant (or just clean), and definitely "work in progress"...


The good news is - the image content we're getting at Hero Frock Hire is probably the best we've ever got - and we're managing to standardise the approach which is going to make all the packaging done later a lot easier. But same old story, some of the ones we did first, just aren't as good technically as the ones we're producing later... so I'll have to make that annoying-tough-call about reshooting some things. Also, we've had the lovely Anna Gleeson visiting from New York in the studio as a model, and a mini-film maker before she dashes off to her exciting life in Tokyo. That means heaps of new blouses and garments that require sleeves! She certainly puts the old wooden manniquin to shame.

In addition to this blog, I also have my own blog where I talk about any sort-of external projects and at the moment is the Scheherazade Illustration Project. Basically I'm putting both the illustration resource and my illustration skills through their paces.

So the end of month deadline for the first downloadable has been well and truly missed - but we have:

1. A general idea how to package the files
2. A 3rd party digital asset distributor that can process payments for us
3. Some great images with our best ever technical standard
4. Some footage for a little "making of" film!


Back to the beauty... Matt
