The Bible According To Google Earth

The Crucifixion.

Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Noah's Ark.

Moses parting the Red Sea.

It's the work of Sydney-based "creative collective" The Glue Society. The project was commissioned by Eric Romano of Pulse Art, New York for its Miami art fair. “We like to disorientate audiences a little with all our work. And with this piece we felt technology now allows events which may or may not have happened to be visualized and made to appear dramatically real," say The Glue Society's James Dive. "As a method of representation satellite photography is so trusted, it has been interesting to mess with that trust."

Armani Jeans: Adriana Lima

You know that Farah Fawcett poster every boy in the seventies grew up with? This is the image I grew up with in my puberty when Adriana Lima wasn't a well-known Victoria's Secret supermodel that she's now. At that time she was just launched into model stardom probably at age of sixteen... She was supersexy then too, what's in that Brazilian food, heh? In time I kinda grew tired of her. Very odd, I like other hot supermodels now. :')

It was part of a big AJ campaign.

American Icons

I find this similar to the Vanity Fair pin-up photo shoot, but it's still quite nice to look at and it features some of the same female celebrities. Not so sexist, but still sexy.

Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter. She can do it!

Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn.

Alicia Keys as First Lady Michelle Obama.

Save Your Darlings

This is not hot and fresh anymore, but it's still worth the watch. In advertising killing your darlings, which means throwing your favourite ideas/creations aside, is part of the deal and sometimes it really pays off. In this case commercials are forced to be cut into 30 seconds, but thank God for the longer cinematic versions and its award event for it! So let's save your darlings and kill the editor instead.

Card Observer

Remember that great Google business card? Sometimes having the right card, by which I mean a personal one that's perfectly designed and suited to your profession, means everything. Here's how.
