Funny thing is: our marketing lady is on maternety leave (nothing to do with me) so our HR lady stepped in to cover her job.
HR lady gets some design house somewhere to knock up some new brochures for us, I took one look and though hmmm, that's familiar!

We've used about 6 of them I think (even one with an asian man - YES! a MAN...)

Only a couple of tiny images I'm afraid - as the URL launches the PDF directly

Whilst at this years IBC (largest Television trade show in Europe - possibly the world) it was a reccuring theme with Probel and Crystal Vision both using them.

How does it feel to be a design fashion setter Rod?

Thanks a lot for the latest spots, I'd not seen any of these yet.

Mqark - any chance I could snag some hi-res pdf's pf the artwork, please? Would be good for my 'folio and future pitches.

Yep, all my stuff is mostly sold via Getty Images and Adobe Stock Photos, and some other third party distributors like Veer.

Haha, 19 inches of Rod.

I remember seeing a tutorial for these done by the man himself in Computer Arts a while back. Pretty cool stuff.

*bump*

We had the free local paper stuck through the door earlier on, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that a small local jewellers has had a 6 page, fairly glossy brochure as an insert, and Rod's pics have been used as the backdrop for every single page.

Damn fine stuff there sir! I'll scan a couple tomorrow :)

reminds me... no scan I'm afraid but I'm damn sure I saw one of these in a ryanair inflight magazine.

Can't remember specifics because I'd been awake well over 24 hours at that point

Indeed, it looks like out and out plagiarism of the first image Mqark posted.
