I basically have no weekends. My weekends are like weekdays. If you look at it from the bright side, everyday is like a weekend. How sweet! Except that in my case, everyday is like a weekday.
And for some reason, I just have to re-shoot photos on weekends. It happened when I was just sitting there thinking which part in our business that I need to work on/tweak and the next thing I knew, I was already ironing that huge piece of background cloth with my camera aside.
I ended up changing all of the first photos of our MacBook and MacBook Pro sleeves to something with white/grey background again. I’m sorry, I just can’t stand looking at them with ‘other colours’. It’s just so not-us. I guess at this point you can say that I’m pretty obsessed with the ‘clean’ look. Funny though my work space has never been ‘clean’. Bah!
I was way too tired after shooting all (nearly 50) of them, and decided to shoot the 2nd and 3rd photo for the others tomorrow. Well actually, if I could, I’ll shoot now, but it’s already night time, and I’m really, really, really very tired. So I’ll have to wait.
Today marked the first time for NottyPooch to be in a retail environment – I mean like a real brick and mortar shop.
And it’s at Switch, the Apple Premium Reseller in Penang, Malaysia.
I know. What could be better, right? :)
Finally arrived yesterday, after spending two good hours sitting at our lovely printer’s office, looking at them cutting the tags with their oh-so-magnificent machine. Teehee!
The front. We have it printed with different models so we can ‘slash-away’ the non-related ones. Numbers are hand-stamped since each case is one-of-a-kind.
Inside of the card, with descriptions of the case, with a little care instruction – though there is nothing much to ‘care’ about with banners! :)
The back. Proudly printed with ‘Handmade in Penang, Malaysia’. Teehee!
With the new batch of MacBook cases all majorly in white, I’ve been having some difficult times trying to take good photos out of them. By saying good, I mean GOOD. I like shooting these cases on white background. I know at times like this you can use grey or some other natural colours but as much as I want to, I’ve been trying to find a piece of paper in grey that is huge enough for me to do a good photo shooting with no success.
Now this is really irritating me because, well, to be honest, I’m not very patient with photo shooting, at all. After listing two of these cases, I decided that NO THEY ARE NOT WORKING. Which means I’ll have to schedule another photo shooting session tomorrow – oh and by the way, that gloomy weather throughout the day didn’t help much with the perfect lighting either.
More work tomorrow.
OK we are super busy at the moment, but we have to share.
A kind Etsian gave us a link and guess what, American actress, author, and former fashion model Alicia Silverstone got one of our MacBook sleeve and talked about it in her blog here!
Thank you SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!
