I would be interested to see a exposé of Confessions on FaceOut books to see how that cut out effect was created: Digital or by hand....Ian Koviakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06779092543413941740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-81583927757909467742009-08-21T12:19:45.797-05:002009-08-21T12:19:45.797-05:00Love "The Time It Takes..." except for t...Love "The Time It Takes..." except for that totally humdrum font choice.
