Hendrix vignettes.


I can't for the life of me recall what these were done for, but the brief was to supply some highly-finished visuals of Jimi Hendrix, with vignetted edges. They were drawn quite small - about A5 size, and they're a bit dull to look at, but I guess they were used as a visual aid or maybe as part of a slide presentation linked to a music track - I have no idea. That's actually the oddest aspect of being a visualiser for ad agencies, come to think of it. Unlike when working on storyboards for a director, you're never in the room when the work is presented to client, so you never really see the creative process through. Then, once your work is sent off, the next one lands on your desk and because deadlines are usually in terms of a few hours or a few days, you're too busy getting that one underway to dwell on how things might have gone on the last job; and sometimes when the ideas are a bit weak, you don't really care,but occasionally, when you've really enjoyed doing a job - you're left wondering what happened next. Cue violins...
