Disappointed
Begin rant. Stock photography? Really??? Ella and Viv have some serious artists and designers working for them. Their whole clouds series is just incredible. But this is bleeeeeeping photography purchased and unaltered. I worked with stock photos for 15 years. I know the look and feel. As far as I can tell these images were cropped and shoved to the printer. The thumb tacks are the worst. End rant.
I'm still glad I bought this paper. Why? The scale for one. Paper clips are usually below their actual size in reality which means they loose detail and impact. These paper clips are a giant 3" long! Not the photo size, each clip. The pushpins are smaller but still over-sized. That's so cool. The thumb tacks are barely useful due to the brassy color cast but they are over-sized as well. The overhead pens image is interesting but that angle is awkward. Comment withheld about the sticky notes.
This is a cool concept. If your project can handle over-sized you can have a whole lot of fun since they do provide visual and conceptual pop. Even a 1" strip carries this high impact which is great for cards, ATCs and other small works.
