'Moon' Shot
As the art director referred to as having been "abducted by space aliens" and having had my "talent removed by probes" in David Browne and Michele Romero's rude "critique" of Brandy's Full Moon CD cover (Music), I must beg to differ with their humble opinion. This is the first negative reference to my work that I have heard from the hundreds of people involved in this project. While your critics are entitled to their opinions, I wish they hadn't expressed them at my expense before millions of readers. What people like and don't like when it comes to design is extremely subjective. Your opinion of my work offends me and has embarrassed me publicly.
