Without going into much detail:
I’m working on a new website. Our designer made a really nice design for the client. In the “About Us” section, they’ve got a page for each member of the organization. The design features two photos of the person:
- a professional mugshot, which goes in the right sidebar
- a more candid “action” photo, something that shows the person is a human
Apparently, the client didn’t hear the word “candid,” so each of the “action” photos is just another close-up face photo. Their clothes are more casual, like they’re having coffee with an old friend on the back porch. Most of them are looking out-of-frame with a smile on their face, as if they’re chuckling at something vaguely amusing.
The effect, really, is that they look like they’re gazing lovingly at the other photo of themselves in the sidebar.
Also, one of the people featured on this website has the surname “Bender.” My apologies to anyone whose name is Bender, but I recently discovered that Futurama is funny. Apparently people knew this? Anyway, if I meet you, and your name is Bender, there’s a better-than-average chance that I’m hearing “I am Bender. Please insert girder.” in my head.
