Moral of the story... Always, and I mean ALWAYS trust your 1st instinct....
Normally this is the case...where we have a gut feeling(our very 1st instinct) and we wanna do it, thinking that 'this is my decision, that's that'... But then the longer you drag, the mind starts to play tricks on you, making you doubt your 1st instinct.This happened to me when I was choosing the CD cover art for Louis' "Peace Revolution!" There were a total of i think 12 entries...all were great... Din know where to start, so i viewed all as my avatar walked past them(they were lined up in a row like a art gallery show)...
Once I reached the end of the line, there was one CD Cover Art that was still in my heart and mind, the whole thing just screams out to me... it screams 'PEACE REVOLUTION'...Totally that idea! That cover art was in black and red, in a sort of swirling kind of motion, and when you look closely, you can actually see an eagle(close up on the face, the eye, the beak and the swirling motion are actually the wings)... I noticed that when i went back to it..Then, i viewed them all again, having this striking cover art as my 1st choice(my 1st gut instinct)... Out of the other cover art, I like another 1-2.... The other one was in light blue and white, which gives me a feeling of 'Peaceful'... And the other one was a picture of a piano keyboard and a dove above it... which also sends out the message of 'Peace'...since doves are symbols of peace.Thought about it overnight, torn between these 3.... so right before i leave for sch today(Monday)...I went on SL and put my vote..And I saw Louis! ^_^ Anyway, we chatted abit abt the cover arts, and found out that his favourite(I know which one but promised him nt gonna say) was winning the votes... Really glad for him! And he loves my selections, the 'keyboard and dove' and the 'eagle'...I voted for the white and light blue...then changed my mind when he also agreed that the eagle one was great, and it was authentic(done by a real life artist).. So i went for the eagle...altered my votes and voted for that eagle... Should hve gone with my very 1st instinct(the eagle).... and what do you know? I still went back to it afterall.... Really glad that Louis really loves all the cover arts, including my 'final few choices'... ^_^ Hope that eagle wins...cos it practically screams ''Peace Revolution!''...and it's an unforgettable piece of art... Great for leaving 1st impression on anybody! ;)
