Making "iPod"

The one problem with the previous picture is Benjamin's hair. Carol gelled up both Benjamin and Jeremy's hair so they'd look cool. But Benjamin's ended up very clumpy and looks a little too much like the dad's hair from the book Weird Parents. So I made a copy of his hair and rotated it about 30 degrees, superimposing it on his head. That filled out the rough spots and it ended up looking excellent.

The next problem is the headphone cables. In the iPod ad campaign the headphone cables are positioned perfectly. I presume they're drawn in by talented artists. I did the best I could. Compare the headphones on this page with the distorted ones on the previous page. I used the Photoshop "path" tool to draw them; one problem with the path tool is that its curves are too smooth.
