Hectik

Whilst I was browsing looking for a photo of a tree... of all things! I came across some photography digital art which really made an impact on me. I find that it is dynamic and a little bit disturbing. One of the examples is below which, to me, connotates erotica, sex, fetishism and pain. Take a look at the other work:

Wonderbra


A clever print ad for Wonderbra.

Wonderbra

After the hype of the Cadbury Gorilla ad, especially on youtube.. comes the spoof! Wonderbra have created this ad based on the Glass and a half full Production, with the tag line 'two cups full of joy'. I think that it is really well 'spoofed' with the colour changing from purple to the Wonderbra yellow and the tagline is very clever also. I love the little thing she does with her nose ('grrrrr') half way through. Works better on the Gorilla though!

Japanese Fashion




These 'fashion' items were on TV the other day and I have managed to find some pictures of them. They are absolutely ridiculous... but soooo Japanese at the same time! They are created by fashion designer Aya Tsukioka and they are clothes or bags which transform to decieve potential criminals. The vending machine starts off as a skirt which unfolds and transforms you into a vending machine. I can see these being used more for fancy dress than to make criminals oblivious to you! The handbag... well, you can just throw it on the floor and it is disguised as a manhole.. with a handle! Interesting... but a little daft.

Brylcreem 'Effortless' - the making

This makes the advert even more interesting. Nice little film to watch.

Brylcreem 'Effortless'

I just love this advert. I think that it is really witty and clever. The idea of men being lazy and not wanting to bother with the way they look transfers through to the direction of the advert. Great concept!
