Tonight I spent 4 hours trying to represent some of football’s famous tight ends as vector images. How did I do?
Random Trvia: I went to High School with Kellen Winslow Jr. and had a chance to meet his dad one day while I was setting up hurdles for a track workout. They were on the field doing a photo shoot for Sports Illustrated and the photographer needed an extra hand with something. I got to hang out for a bit and they took a few photos of me with the HOFer.
I’m now 15 hours into this project and experiencing a bit of scope creep – the project keeps getting bigger as I get more done.
I have however decided that I’m going to wait to release the final project until Tony either a) has an official retirement ceremony b) announces he will play for one more year. The marketer in me wants to give it the best chance of going viral and either of those scenarios would be ideal.
