I also think that Mila and Maya kind of shared a brain this week. <br />I'm glad I'm not the only one who was drawn to Ben's piece. I think it was just the only one that was interesting and unique, visually. It was tastefully risky and not risque.<br />All in all, I thought the response to this challenge was kind of strange. Like they all hit a hump at the same time.Abshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252591191993842032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19931766.post-3352624664390151662010-02-13T19:43:33.904-05:002010-02-13T19:43:33.904-05:00I was strongly and strangely attracted to Ben'...I was strongly and strangely attracted to Ben's. It's totally not me, but the saturated colors were appealing in comparison to the neutrals we've been seeing in this and other challenges, and I appreciated the flattering symmetry and the Madame Butterfly influence. I wanted to have this piece as art, even if it stays on a mannequin.<br /><br />Anthony's was...okay. Pretty. A safe choice. Nice color, rich folds of fabric, put some aquamarine chandelier earrings on Heidi and she's all set for the cover.<br /><br />Curious how the bob-sy twins both chose to do Band-Aid flesh color with grey accents...yeesh. (At least, that's how the colors came across on my TV.) And no one commented on this unity.<br /><br />Seth Aaron...interesting, kind of steampunk, but looked stiff, stuffy, and uncomfortable for a springtime cover. I don't see Marie Claire going with a gunmetal color scheme on their cover, either.<br /><br />I liked Jay's, and I could almost see it as a summery cover look (or high winter) on a simple cream background with warm blue or burgundy text. The look was very bridal, though. He, like several of the others, was designing to the wrong purpose. What was up with that? How hard is it to do a simple, elegant bottom, and a vivid top with a bit of embellishment?<br /><br />-SECPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
