If you THINK. Vote The Greens

Fantastic ad...congratulations to Republic of Everyone!

Secrets Revealed!

I came across this picture on Coolhunter using Madonna in a fake beauty care ad. Amazing what we can do with Photoshop...creating these unrealistic images of celebrities. Although I found this fake ad amusing, the message underlying this is serious. People just cant look as good as they do once the airbrush comes out and turns them into genetically gifted gods or goddesses.

A few months ago I was happy to see that Britney Spears, one of the world's most famous pop stars allowed all of her imperfections to be highlighted. She allowed the pre-airbrushed images from a shoot she took part in for fashion firm Candie's to be used alongside the digitally-altered ones, so people can see the difference. Britney may not always be the perfect role model for our children however this is a great step in the right direction. And I personally think she looked beautiful in the before shot! 

Art & Copy Film

I came across this film and I hope it becomes available in Australia. ART & COPY reveals the stories behind and the personal odysseys of some of the most influential advertising visionaries of our time and their campaigns, including Lee Clow (Apple Computer 1984, and today’s iPod); Dan Wieden (“Just Do It”); Phyllis K. Robinson (who invented the “me generation” with Clairol); Hal Riney (who helped President Reagan get re-elected); and George Lois (who saved MTV and launched Tommy Hilfiger overnight).

Directed by Doug Pray, ART & COPY captures the creative energy and passion behind the iconic campaigns that have had a profound impact on American culture. Featuring rare interviews with the aforementioned industry legends, the film seeks to identify the elements that transform an slogan into a pop culture catch phrases.
