Group Design Huddle Meeting Sprint Review Pre-Mortem – Round 17:
- Everyone likes the yellow halo; blue halo looked like electrocution.
- Make head even bigger. We aren’t selling bodyphones!
- The hair should be like dreads, but also spiky, and 10% more urban.
- Hands can still be smaller. Ideally guy should resemble tyrannosaur.
- Chin bigger! Lose the neck!
Thanks to John R!

- Picture of a customer, to show that we actually have customers.
- Picture of a customer using a computer (to reassure people that that is the best way to use this website.)
- Customer should be female, because men are useless.
- Customer should be old.
- Not that old.
- She should be senior, and be full of life, but wrinkly, but smiling.
- Less jowls please. 9% fewer wrinkles.
- Her hair is too kempt. Is kempt a word? More unkempt please.
- Hey this laptop isn’t even turned on!
- Is she left-handed? Is that good?
Original is here. Thanks to Amelie!

Round 1: This is a hot, sexy product! Let’s make the shots look hot! And sexy!
Round 2: Let’s do this in a way that doesn’t break Amazon‘s TOS.
Round 3: You can still see her ya-ya.
Round 4: If you don’t make a picture we can use then you’re fired.
Round 5: I neither care nor want to know, just run with it.

Somewhere along the dreadful course of events that brought this ad to the pages of Health magazine, you’d think someone would have thought “maybe the picture should have some shadows, because, you know, that would make it look sunny, which is the entire point of this ad and our product.”

Scene: Gigantic meeting room at IRS headquarters. Sixty IRS directors and managers sit at a long table.
Secretary to the Treasury: Ladies, gentlemen, we all know why we’re here. I’m afraid this is going to be a long, difficult meeting. We’re going to art direct a photograph on our website.
Thanks to Lynn T! Original here.

Steven Klein’s photoshopper goes overboard with Gwyneth Paltrow in the new Vogue. Not only does her head look detached, she gets a Stepford Wives makeover.
Go Fug Yourself has a poll on how awful it is, while Stylefrizz weighs in on the heavy-handedness. Thanks to Andrew and Jill for sending this one.
