The layout was very tall but the image was going to be a very small part. Still, a simple band-aid had to look great. I shot many tests with actual band-aids and they looked terrible. I ended up making a 6 inch wide band-aid out of cardboard, sticky shelf paper and gauze. Life got much easier as I could lift the thing up off the background, add a nice shadow and make it look perfect. The Lord Geller Federico Einstein art director loved it (still thinks it was a real band-aid) and the ad was great. See? Photographers have to know how to do everything!
