help

Long story. 9th inning hassels.

But.

I'm looking for people to be personas in my book. If you are willing to lend yoru face to a good cause for free, please drop me an email. I'll need a high-resolution headshot, preferably casual/snapshotlike.

Other free things I'd love to find: people's IA diagrams, someone who might want to do some illustrations/cartoons, and photographs of a few key items.

I'm personally not making much on this book other than new wrinkles, so i can't offer cash. i can offer free copies of the damn thing, and a chance at extremely limited fame (hey mom, I'm in a book!)

Photo like this? http://ezhe.ru/data/fri/face/269-th.jpg

... just come to your site and look it inside out.

Come here in strange path: looking at my web site logs, discovered relevare.com, enjoyed the site and navigation (not a product, *sigh*), used GoogleScout.

And I am here, sending you my photo. I can scan it with good scanner at good resolution.

Anyway, I am very interested in IA topic, so I have to bookmark your site anyway.

You could always use the pictures they use in The Onion for their Man On The Street interviews....

I can help if you're still looking for another persona volunteer.
I can't find your email though on the site so you'll have to send one to me (via the contact details on my website if needed).

I published some pictures related to usability, including high res versions, for exactly cases like this.

I personally especially like the one at the bottom of the page. Come to think of it, I might want to use it in my own book :) If you want to use any of them just let me know. Hope the book is coming along well, and looking forward to reading it! When will it be published?

I spent an hour or so today looking for a head shot of myself for you, which made me realize that the funny thing about being the family photographer is that all the pictures I have are of other people. :-)

When do you need these by?

Well, there is this one: http://www.makoviney.com/images/y2Don_mini.gif

And again, if you want to send me stuff, do so to christina at this site... eleganthack.com. If I dont' write back, it's because I've just changed computers and something has gone astray. So I'm not beign rude. Please sent again.
