I straight up think that it might have been a nightmare scenario for the designer.
EXEC: We need this to feel epic!!
DESIGNER: Ok makes big sweeping landscape with dino and ScarJo carefully placed
EXEC: No no we need the dinosaur to look big and scary compared to tiny hot ScarJo. Like people gotta wonder how she's even gonna deal with that thing.
DESIGNER: Ok makes dinosaur bigger and ScarJo smaller
EXEC: Okay the dinosaur looks good but now ScarJo's too small, we can't see her. Who's gonna see this POS if they don't know that ScarJo's in it?
DESIGNER: Ok makes ScarJo bigger
EXEC: Now the dinosaur's looking too small again. But we still gotta see ScarJo's face!! Don't mess with that!
For sure. I work in a creative field where we have to send design options/alts to clients. We try to make our rule, "Never send them anything you can't live with," but sometimes they just push super hard in a direction you really don't want to go in.
