Evaluation - Paper Clips

For this project, we had a choice of: bin liners, paper clips, takeaway boxes, plastic cups, plain black or white socks and dish cloths to advertise. I chose paper clips, I liked the idea of trying to make paper clips fun - and after a little research, I decided to make figures out of them. Initially, I tried to bend them using just my fingers, but it was very difficult, and painful, so I used pliers instead.
The first photographs I took were on a plain white background, which was very dull and did not convey the idea of paper clips being in any way fun for bored people.
For the second shoot, I had a computer keyboard and mouse in the background - the images were much more interesting with these included, however the keyboard was very dirty, and I spent a lot of time on Photoshop 'cleaning' it up. I could have solved this problem before shooting by using a different keyboard, if I had noticed. I should have taken some more photographs, using a cleaner keyboard, once I had noticed, but wasn't sure I had the time - although I now realise that I would have done. I would also like to add the other paper clip scenes - the engagement and the wedding, for example - but in the photographs I took with them, all the dirt in the keyboard and mouse were very visable.
I like the tag-line that I have used, 'Bored? Paper Clip!', and that the pictures now look office-y - they work together to provide an interesting, but simple image, that grabs your attention and draws your eyes to the paper clip. I do feel, however, that the images would probably work best in a magazine, rather than on a billboard or poster - but I have an edited image for all 3 mediums; I think I should have made a TV/film advert, showing the paper clips being bent.
