Artist Mocks the Absurd Poses in Fashion Photos by Showing Them in Real Life

Have you ever noticed how ridiculous many of the poses seen in fashion and glamor photographs are? Artist Yolanda Dominguez has a project called Poses highlighting how absurd and artificial the poses are by having a group of women do them in public locations and filming the reactions of passersby. It’s interesting how something so ridiculous when seen in real life can look so “normal” when done by a model in the context of a fashion photograph.

C4's Seven Dwarves: a very small ad campaign

To promote Channel 4's new series Seven Dwarves – an observational documentary "following the lives of seven dwarf actors as they live together and perform in a production of Snow White" (we're not making this up) – 4Creative has subverted the notion of a huge billboard campaign by creating 20 mini poster sites...

Twenty of the miniature billboards,  complete with working lights and a stand-alone frame, have been placed in various locations around London over the last week or two including Cromwell Road and Picadilly circus.

Either the mini billboards are popular with passers by, or London councils don't like them... becasue almost all of them have disappeared.

Music redraws Chester Zoo's identity

Manchester-based Music has just completed the rebranding of Chester Zoo. The new brand identity centres on a bespoke handdrawn typeface and logotype, created in collaboration with illustrator Adam Hayes. Music also worked with copywriter Mike Reed to develop a distinctive and playful tone of voice for the brand...

This is Chester Zoo's new logo, which exists in two forms, seen above and below

The new Chester Zoo type family contains four weights to increase flexibility of usage:

And, to maintain the illusion of brand literature being written by hand, there are a number of contextual alternates built in to the typeface...

There are also a number of alternate characters available in each weight of the Chester Zoo typeface which have suitably animal-themed decorations:

As befitting any rigorous branding programme, Music has created a colour palatte:

And there are also a number of stand alone animal illustrations, all created by Hayes, that can be used as and where necessary - such as the new map of the Zoo:

"The new brand centres on a personality and voice rooted in the work of those who make Chester Zoo what it is, encompassing their passion, integrity and knowledge," says Music's Anthony Smith who worked on the project with Craig Oldham. "Add to this the license for creative expression in how the font works and is applied – and the zoo has the means to make a powerful impact and really stand out in a competitive sector," he continues, "by telling their story in a very natural and genuine way."

Music has created a wide range of the zoo's new marketing materials, as well as its site map and signage - plus the identity for The Act for Wildlife campaign that the zoo has also just launched (the homepage of actforwildlife.org.uk shown below). Music is now working with Chester Zoo on updating its website, incorporating the new look.
