In my design class, I was assigned to take a book that I enjoyed and create a movie poster for it. The catch was, it couldn't already be adapted into a film. No problem. I immediately knew what book to select: Like a Hole in the Head by Jen Banbury. Sadly, it's out of print, but you can pick up a copy online for really cheap.
In order to successfully complete the assignment, I needed to meet certain criteria. I won't go into the details, because I like you and would rather not bore you to death. All you needed to know is that I met the criteria- but before I did, I knew I couldn't make this too easy for me. What to do? I knew I wanted an image of the story's protagonist, Jill, on the poster. So one would assume I needed a photo of a woman, right? Nah...I'll just photograph me in a wig and do my best to "transform" my photo into that of a woman. Now, you can be the judge and decide if you think I succeeded. At the very least, I think I made myself a little more attractive.
A note to the author of Like a Hole in the Head: Jen, if you've stumbled upon my blog whilst Googling your name (admit it, we've all done it): Please, please write more fiction. As far as I know, Like a Hole in the Head is your only novel, and I love it dearly. Heck, I liked it enough to wear a silly wig for you...that has to mean something.
