So I did a shoot for a friend who does hair and makup and she intends to use the shots on her website, Myspace etc. All shots were in the salon, and there was 14 different girls shot through out the day. In total I believe I'll be editing about 30images for her, and she wants to have "hair and makeup by:_____" on the photo. With most of the stuff I do, I put my name on them in a place that's least distracting and turn some opacity down. Most often verticle in black or white. Now with this, I'm not sure what to do. Should I make it uniform and just run like a banner style watermark towards the bottom with here name and mine in it, which would be easy to create a action and use in a batch or should I process each image indavidually and use my best judgement on where it should be? Also with the text, should I keep it simple so it's not distracting, or do something kind of bold? Any samples, ideas etc, would be greatly appreciated on this. TIA

I personally would put your watermark on it where you usually do and expand the canvas in one direction and put whatever she wants there.

A One sided frame but yes... like a postcard with the picture on the left and a 1" border on the right where the info would go. You can also include a logo or something on the bottom to offset the text on top.
