		<description>I guess the real questions is why add the girl in first place?

I can already head another discussion:

Client: "Yeah that's nice but we need to make it more about people."

Art Director: "But I think anyone getting this far already know they want a virtual server. The only thing they want to know now is what it can do. No photographs of people needed to communicate that."

Client: "Yeah but I want to have some people in there somewhere."

Art Director: "We'll see what we can do."

Art Director to Graphics Drone: "Can you ad a photo of someone not too nerdy looking into the banner."

Graphics Drone does a quick and dirty cut and paste job using a stock image he/ she already used 100 times in previous work.

Art Director to client: "We have added a person."

Client: "Thanks... haven't had a chance yet to look at it but I am sure it will be alright."

As I said before... this sort of thing happens 100% over on a daily basis in large advertising agencies...

... As Stefan Sagmeister once said "any design studio with more than 4 people mostly produces crap". ... I only second that.</description>
