Before I send this to print I figured I'd get some valuable input from you fine people. It's a first attempt of compiling work from my current fulltime gig. It's a small company so I get to work very closely with my CD. I'm looking to step away from design and focus more on photography and art direction.
I'm printing a 13x11 hardcover through blurb as well as an ipad version where I'll be adding some short process videos.

I think the face gets tired + weird after the first time we see it.
It's all very focused for media/television. I think you have some really compelling / provactive photography in there but it's sort of buried at the end of the book.
Why not intersperse some personal work in between the campaigns a little? I think it would give it better pacing and would give you / client / employer a little breathing room when you're talking through the book.

- hmm ok. i figured "the face" might be too esoteric. it's Mario Moreno Cantinflas, a Mexican icon. those who do recognize him get a huge smile. is it worth risking those who wouldn't recognize him?JG_LB

I remember the couple made from album covers. Doesn't look like it changed from when you posted a thread about it.
