i have a new music column in a newspaper that i'll be announcing when my first installment runs. right now though, i need your help...the paper did an illustration of me and i have a choice of using that illustration or a photo to run with the column. here are the choices...what do you think?

I like the one on the bottom right where you're holding the camera. very fetching & personable.

Bottom left, you're beautiful!

The one with the camera is the best

Not to take anything away from the other photos, but bottom right is white hot. The blouse is really alluring. Maybe you can photoshop out the shadow a little bit.

Bottom-left, for sure. Bottom-right is nice, but your eyes are crazy beautiful in bottom-left...

Bottom left. The angle on the top ones would be odd in a paper, and the bottom-right facial lighting isn't great.

We vote for the bottom left.

those eyes! those eyes! don't you dare do the B&W sketch! my vote is for the bottom right pic.

Don't go with the drawing. It looks like Napoleon Dynamite did it. One with the camera is better.

bottom left if the pic will be tiny.

The bottom left is pretty sweet, but the bottom-left would be A+ perfect were it not a Myspace-style shot.

Bottom right, but this one from the sidebar is better.

is it a music article that covers more then the usual 4/5 bands you write about? just curious! I hope it's not nypress.com, they'll just about hire anyone these days.
Posted by: billy | February 28, 2006 at 11:23 PM
bottom left for sure.

Jen...I like the black and white sketch first. Second choice is bottom left.

definitely the one in which you're holding the camera.
it's sweet, the shirt is cool and it works as a teaser. we cant see your face right.
Posted by: Bean | March 01, 2006 at 10:06 AM
bottom left, for sure.

Bottom right.

bottom right
Posted by: | March 01, 2006 at 09:12 PM
bottom left, absolutely. the top left is good but too bleached out, the camera pic is too dark (plus the camera-in-miror shot has been done to death), and the drawing doesn't really look like you.

Use this one:

It makes you look like a '70s sex symbol at her vacation home in Vermont.

The bottom right picture is ideal.
Posted by: Rich | March 03, 2006 at 03:53 PM
Go with the illustrated drawing. It's a classic look and will make people wonder about your actual looks. That's the hook.
