The design team at Najla Qamber Designs has done it all in the name of art. While we haven't exactly suffered for our art, we have definitely done some weird things. In the spirit of full disclosure and your entertainment, we're revealing the top ten oddest requests the team has received.
Kiss 4 sheets of paper wearing red lipstick to make a logo.
Remove pinstripe from suits (this took 3 hours btw)
'Shave' (some) underarm hair
Put a top on nude women
Add jeans to guys who aren't wearing any ;)
- We gotta stay classy, ladies!
(Naj can't find the cover she did that on, so here's some eye candy instead)
Move a guy's nipple because it didn't look proportional
Crumple a bunch of paper for a book cover
Hide men's abs (Shocking I know!)
Add a nun's habit to a sexy woman in the arms of a sexy man
Add tentacles on a romance cover
(Not the exact image but I’m sure you get the picture.)

Design has a way of pulling us into some strange and unexpected territory! From spending hours finding the perfect shade of off-white to experimenting with materials that were never meant to be wearable, we’ve all done our share of weird things in the name of creativity. One of the most unique design detours I took involved creating high-quality biker patches for a custom apparel project. I ended up sourcing vintage thread, studying old-school stitching techniques, and even distressing fabric to get the perfect rugged look. It was intense, but also one of the most rewarding design experiences I’ve had. Sometimes it’s the weird stuff that makes your work unforgettable!
