Ha! I think every one was surprised at how different the final version is.
The last two weeks were strange in that how much work I was able to create and how everything seems to have finally come together.
I hope everyone else can see how the final takes elements from all the other versions.
I really like this version and am actually content to use it for real.
The idea of the buttons being details of larger images comes directly from looking at the work of Julian Opie. He has the confidence to use the same method of image manipulation again and again.
I want to be able to take this method of work forward and create some other pictures.
For the first time in a long while, I'm excited about making pictures (other than taking photos).
