Cecelia's Flowers

Cecelia Webber creates images of flowers entirely constructed from photographs of the human body.

Her work consists of only the naked human body, often her own, photographed in the most peculiar of positions then painstakingly overlaid using Photoshop to form the familiar shapes of petals, stamen and stem. So familiar the shapes are and so acutely formed that at first glance it is hard to tell that you're looking at naked people. Lastly, but always first in our book, she saturates the forms with stunning color. Her work pays great homage to nature: the beauty of the human figure and the shapes and colors that connect all living things.

Getty Images' Watermark In Real Life

For those of you who don't know this. Getty Images is one of the most famous image banks out there. Naturally, the low res previews of their stock photography always have the Getty Images watermark on them.

Now, Getty takes the watermark to the streets for their most recent advertising campaign

They recreated it in glass and placed it infront of many monuments and attractions around Germany, along with a simple message: "All the images you can imagine".

Although I think the concept is pretty cool, Im not very sure about its execution. I mean there's always that awkwardly protruding pole that carries the glass "watermark".

IKEA's Brilliant Facebook Campaign

Here's the story.

IKEA opened a new store in Malmo, Sweden and didn't have a lot of money to advertise about it or let people know about it. So they hired a small advertising agency called Forsman and Bodenfors to create a special launch campaign.

Now, what the agency did was that it created a Facebook profile for the store manager, Gordon Gustavsson. and over a period of 2 weeks, it uploaded images from IKEA showrooms to his Facebook photo album. Then they announced that the first person to tag their name to a product in the pictures, won it.

Before you knew it, word got out and thousands of Swedes were begging for more pictures so they could tag themselves a new sofa, a new bed etc. At this point, thousands of Swedes, were spreading pictures of IKEA showrooms all around their profile pages!

Genius!
