The first creation was a wastepaper basket with a King Charles Spaniel inside a gold medallion surrounded by my new floral pattern.
I liked the wastepaper basket so much...
that I created a very large tray to match...
and then I liked that so much that I created five new tissue box cover designs...
With all these new designs in my studio, I knew exactly what my next print ad would feature. When it came time to set up the products for my photo shoot (on my back porch this morning) I could not decide which items to feature so I took pictures of everything. Once it started to rain, I moved it all inside and sat down at my computer to go through all the pictures.
My first choice was a shot with the King Charles Spaniel Wastepaper Basket, the matching King Charles Spaniel Tissue Box Cover and the Swan Tissue Box Cover.
Here is the first ad I designed around 12 noon.
Well, I just could not leave well enough alone, so here is the second ad I finished around 6:00 p.m.
Well, I still could not leave well enough alone, so here is the third ad I finished around 12 midnight.
I emailed the ad to the magazine, so I guess that is my final ad.
When in doubt... simplify.
