Deziginer Words of Wisdom: the Mock-up

The Mock-Up.

I've been there. And so has some poor soul who thought he/she'd get a totally awesome clip by designing the new Weezer cover album:

From Vulture:

"Yes, that's absolutely the cover. It's what they chose. They looked at a bunch of mockups, and that's the one they decided to go with. It's not a joke." —Weezer publicist Jim Merlis on the newly released cover of the band's upcoming album [MTV]

Deziginer Words of Wisdom #1: Never let anyone see anything you couldn't accept as a final product. I know about it. My coworker knows about it. The Weezer album designer now knows about it.

Honestly I could make a better cutout than that...
