I'm a Bit Closer to Believing

After my week of struggle and angst culminating in the latest LJ entry, leave it to chickenhat to make my day:



I'm utterly moved. As Bloo remarked, "I want buttons."

And speaking of Bloo...

In addition to my new poster/postcard design, Bloo and I started batting around a couple other ideas. She was wondering if there was some way I could play with that "in the shadow of Hugh Hefner" motif, maybe having the shadow of a bunny (HARVEY-style?) behind me or something. I turned down that idea, then jokingly remarked that I might hand out black postcards, just pitch black, and say "That's a photo of me in the shadow of Hugh Hefner."

Then we came up with doing a separate series of teaser postcards. No image, no info on the front, just black matte postcards with the sentence, "Meet the Black Sheep of the White Bunny Family." The text would be white, but the word "black" would be in a darker shade of black than the rest of the card, and glossy too. That just might stand out and pique curiosity amid all the other postcards.

Two sets of postcards. Yeah, this just might work after all.

Now I'm just going to need to step up the marketing of HOW HEFNERIAN when I do it in Orlando. Maybe do an illustrated guide of what is and what isn't Hefnerian, ala those "Do/Don't" pictorials. Do it in three columns of images: "Comedy," "Tragedy," and "Hefnerian."

Heh. Once I get back to work after my break, let's bump this shit up a notch. Bam!

That postcard idea sounds AWESOME! So does the Comedy, Tragedy, Hefnerian thing. That has Lea's 100% Stamp of Approval. Want. Very much want. Do it fast so I can see!

I think that this would be pushing the Hugh Hefner thing too much.

Honestly, you don't live in his shadow. It's a funny bit to touch on, but I wouldn't make it that big a theme.

You need a shot of yourself holding the rose up, partially obscuring your face. Cropped around the head.

I love the shadow bunny idea! You get the point over without sacrificing your own image. And you can keep the old tag line, since it will now make sense even to dunderheads.

Although, you'd look damn cute in bunny ears...

Just remember that the goal of advertising is to get butts in seats. Once they're in, you can do whatever you want.

Kimmy wants to know why Harvey's eyes turned blue after he turned into two-face.

Is there any way to get a poster full of these? Because that would make the best addition to my wall, ever. X3

Funny you should post this,because I actually wore my jokerized I believe in Harvey Dent shirt today! And guys that wear bowlers always win in my book. :)
