I always include a flat image of every design I upload as I have the same goal of drawing the pullup as accurately as possible.
There are a few folks with Diaper archives - a big inspiration for my own was
Camelotian Diaper Wiki. They have a bit of everything!~ For myself, I am only going to archive pullups
That was a heck of a first post.
I'm the creator of the
Camelotian Diaper Wiki. Happy to inspire, and to be inspired by your archive. Yeah, I have a bit of everything, nothing close to your and Aquasailor's collections of pullups.
Having taken a few thousand photos for my own project, I can appreciate the tremendous amount of work that went into your archive. I love how you did the same shots consistently for each item. That's what I tried to do for my wiki once I got into the rhythm of it: unopened package, folded front and back, one end folded showing tapes and padding, full external, full internal, and so on. But it took a while to work that out, and I was buying diapers off and on for years before I even thought of taking photos. Really, my focus was on performance and price, and classification by style.
I never got into pulling them completely flat as you and some others have done. I like those photos, but I couldn't imagine adding even more labor to my process.
I wish I had thought of putting them on a mannequin-like form as you've done, or on a large teddy bear. I did find out that the Tykables teddy bear can wear the same size diapers I use, so maybe someday I'll start taking photos like that.
If you want to test your wits, here's an unlabeled gallery of all of the pullups I've photographed. See if you can identify them. A few different views:
If you see anything here you don't have, I'd be happy to send you my remaining samples if I still have any. When I get some time I'll go through your archive in more detail and see if I have something you might be able to use.
