'Do not let a woman EVER, ever, make you who you are.'

I think it's great to be able to laugh at the ignorance around the world, Sasha Baron Cohen's sense of humor not only makes you laugh hysterically, but his humor brings new light to many touchy subjects that people often choose to ignore (as if they don't still exist).

Categorization Lancome

Lancome promotes that everyone should have Soleil Ultra Sun Care in their bag while highlighting other products they sell throughout categories.

It takes a little while to arrive at the main idea of the ad, but overall good use of categories to highlight many products at one time.

Face Categorization using SIFT

We view face recognition problem as object class recognition problem. Different pople are considered different object categories. In this project, the SIFT features are integrated into a bag-of-words representation of face images. This method achieves some preliminary promising results, which can be used as the first step for face recognition problem, and be further improved by considering spatial relations between features.

Cause & Effect

Pressure is not a great feeling and using it here to evoke a persons self-will to push back and say no to drugs is a great campaign idea.

Artscape's Alphabet

Artscape's visual arts coordinator Gary Kachadourian approached occasional Baltimore City Paper contributors Nolen Strals and Bruce Willen about adding a typographical exhibit to 2005’s citywide lineup, both designers pounced on the opportunity. They put out an open call for designers to create their own original alphabets. The resultant show compiles 60 alphabets by 47 artists, handpicked from an international pool of more than 150 submissions.

Here they intentionally displayed each letter together (rather then by submission), to show differences in typographical elements from one letter to the next.

Before&After

Before&After magazine has been sharing its practical approach to graphic design since 1990. Because our modern world has made designers of us all (ready or not). Before & After is dedicated to making graphic design understandable, useful and even fun for everyone.

This is their credo, and I believe they have some great free downloads for learning some basic design techniques.

Images for Compare/Contrast

I was looking through pictures for my compare/contrast spread and I came across this one. Not the best for my layout, but I jumped off this cliff. It was pretty insane!
