I asked my sister, an artist, what she thought of the cover-page photo of my new pattern.
"It's OK," she said, clearly underwhelmed.
"What's wrong with it?"
"That hat has a giant splotch in the center. It's really distracting."
Compared with the retake, I prefer the splotch photo. It shows the stitches more clearly, and the lighting's better.
But sometimes you have to listen to your sister, who knows a thing or two about what's visually pleasing. And what isn't.
