I designed this ad for an email blast to go out today. What do you think? One photo was public domain, one was CC brazil, and the Golden Gate photo was from www.sxc.hu (Stock XChange is a great source for free photography)

I just came across this ad showing on Hotmail.com… I can see what the designer intended… keeping the clickable list within the context of an image, and using the black graduation gown as a container… but when you need to fake the body in to accomodate 1) a too-long selection list and 2) a skyscraper ad which does not have suitable dimensions for the image chosen, you get some freaky results.
