LOL, it's amazing how a clutter of post-it-notes can make you feel overwhelmed! Great job conveying the feeling of stress!

I must say that using a yellow marker to write on yellow sticky notes doesn't sound like the best idea :) Neat idea. Makes you smile, I like it.

I like the idea. Wish his shirt matched a little more with the yellow papers and that red thing seems a little out of place but still a great image.

Boy do I know this feeling. This image reminds me of the cover of the Office Space movie. I think its fun, very relateable, nice composition and focus looks good. Definitely emotive because that fellow looks like he's about to lose it! The image looks a bit flat to me, no depth. Maybe something different done with the lighting would help.. not sure. 6

Love the office imagery. Probably most of us can relate to the yellow sticky note thing. Great idea.

Love the creativity in this shot! Very cleverly done. Lighting is good, focus is good and overall composition is good. However there is a little more that could be added to the compositional feel to communicate to the viewer the frustration factor and that the 'walls are closing in'. The model could look a bit more harried with his hair sticking up/trounced up like he has been pulling his hair. The yellow post-it notes that are littering the back wall of his office should communicate matters of urgency as that they are notes that are pasted to items so that they should not be ignored. I see you have something written in pencil on some of them, but as that we cannot read what they are we have no way of knowing if they are urgent. Having "DUE NOW" and "URGENT" in bold red letters on EACH post-it note would convey the message that he is under deadline and highly stressed out. Throw in a stack of papers as high as his head or higher to the left of him and you have a recipe for high stress that the viewer can visually see.

I had a simular idea.....but I used 3600 post in notes. Took 3 hours to stick them on. And the shots turned out so bad I have to switch to a 2nd and 3rd idea. Great use of them though and nice lighting. I like the way the subject is slight off cenetered. I gave it a 7.
