parasitegirlThe demons of photoshop lurk in my system. They are of the same evil miasma that haunts old sci-fi movies wherein someone must scream “My God, man! Just because science CAN do it…”and all hell breaks out..and maybe giant ants.
It’s then that I must take a break, save what I have, open a different image and act out.
One of the advantages to having studio shots to promote myself is that the show me in a simple land of nowhere.My desired customer can easily imagine me in the environment, party, location or event that THEY are creating.
But studio shots are also just so EASY to manipulate. When the demons grab me I can crop my image out and drop it into wonderland...or shove a mermaid tail on it...there are a lot of photoshopped flyers with bellydancers who have mermaid tails. It seems to be more of an American thing but it also happens here.
In updating my skills, slooowly, I've also been checking out everyone else's flyers for events, studios, instructors. THAR BE PHOTOSHOP DEMONS!
To avoid being publicly snarky may I simply suggest that you google image search
ベリーダンス フライヤー and see for yourselves.
Although I feel I must post Asi Haskal's Japan flyer...
'
Because...it has everything and yet it's not too over the top for him because... that's just who he is.
So, before I go back to studying may I present my predictions for 2015 flyer trends.
Lens flare is out. Random bursts of flame are in.
Chickens replace peacocks.
Springbok horns are the next mermaid tails.
Papayrus is still the comic sans of dance.
And thus I present my newest promotional images!
Now, back to my studies
