Designing the cover.
Designer: place a school ruler or a whip to the bottom right corner?
Art director: what about sceptre?
Designer: middle right. Get a more classic shape?
Art director: yes, a more recognizable one.
Designer: we are also considering a birch rod for the bottom right corner. Should we build one ourselves and take a picture of it?
Art director: birch rod is ok.
Designer: this version has both: a sceptre and a birch rod. It’s nearly impossible to find good pictures of them in internet. Take the birch rod, does it look too much like a besom? Should I make it bushier? If the sceptre does not work, should I go to the Armory to take a photo there or ask our guys to make a
Art director: the birch rod is pretty poor. Get the sceptre wherever. The magic wand should sit in the center.
Designer: here is a sceptre from the Armory (middle right), will it do?
Art director: it’ll do.
Designer: all objects got shadows. Please let me know what to move or delete.
Art director: remote control does not fit. Replace it with a police stick.
Designer: which one?
Art director: the one on the middle.
