I love community art. And I love being nosy. So Postsecret is like that perfect merge of the two. Its saved lives I tell ya! If you fancy something other then Facebook to browse in those fifteen minutes of breaktime I suggest this website (although the books seem more organised if you're inclined that way)- it can give you hope and inspiration on any given Sunday (when the postcards change). And it sort of gives me a little nod to animation with the creator now making these videos (I suppose, to ignite the YouTube boys and girls). It's a surprise everytime- funny, witty, sad, poignant, life affirming etc. It was all to do with the fact that now our lives are so busy and so media centric we miss out on the little moments that affect every single one of us.
On another note. I've come across this rather interesting advert campaign. By Saatchi and Saatchi no less. Dr Martens asked for a one-off advert for their boots. It's become quite contraversial. Seeing as, you know, it uses dead rock stars to sell their product.
It's amazing what Photoshop can do now huh? I'm not sure if I like it. I get the meaning- 'Dr Martens for Life' but apparently the uproar from families of the dead stars (who weren't notified) meant DM had to apologise and sever contact with Saatchi. Seems like one of those things where it wouldn't be noticed if there wasn't such a shitstorm.
