All my heroes 🥂

ZAYN

" All my heroes got tired
And all the days, they got short
And a love that I dreamt of
Came to me at my worst."

The team had been brainstorming ideas for a few days now and although a lot of ideas were thrown out, there were a lot that seemed really interesting. We were putting down ideas we liked best down and these of course would have to be discussed with Harry himself as he was pretty hands on with everything going on. He understood that we knew what we were doing but he did put in his inputs without ever seeming overbearing which was very pleasant.

I did manage to get more comfortable with having Harry Styles come in and out of the Columbia offices, which isn't saying that my heart didn't want to beat out of my chest everytime he walked into a room or I caught a glimpse of the over the top shirts he wore that honestly only he could pull off.

Currently I was sat at the little employee cafe in the ground floor of the offices. I quite deserve this break if I say so myself, just me with my coffee near the window sketching the streets outside. Sketching always did seem to calm me down, it was also why I went into graphic design in the first place. I wanted to pursue a career that was artistic in some way but I was to scared to take the risk of being an artist. It was all for the best though, I love my job and when I find a bit of down time I do still sketch a bit.

I hadn't even realised there was anyone stood in front of me till they moved the chair in front of me to take a seat. I looked up of off my sketch pad to find oh dear god  Harry Styles now sat in front of me with a steaming cup of coffee smiling at me. I smiled back before he asked me what I was sketching which resulted in me handing over the pad shyly.

I sat there while he silently looked through the sketches I make when I was bored. I was stopping myself from bitting my nails, I didn't understand why Harry looking at my sketches made me so damn nervous. I tried telling myself it was because I was currently working on his campaign and not because my teenage self was dead on the floor right next to our seats.

He smiles handing my sketchbook back to me and says, " You're really really good which isn't a shock considering your job but wow. " and oh my god Harry Styles just complimented me. I was going to have to not let myself melt everytime the guy talks. I smiled back in response with a tiny thanks, he continued by asking me what led me into start making album art and that was enough to get me to open up an set me off on an entire explanation. The idea of trying to visually represent music and my idea of what a musician might have wanted to convey through their art is originally what made me want to design album art for a living I also remember telling my friends in uni how crazy it would be if I someday work with Harry Styles I obviously leave that part out.

We spoke for quite a while of his beginnings in the music world and mine into the art, we spoke of where we came from and where we wanted to go and for a moment maybe I wasn't even profusely sweating maybe..
