Social Media Posters

Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus should consider hiring Aaron Wood and Brian Winfield Moore for future advertising campaigns. These two savvy illustrators have taken branding and imagery to a new level with their brilliant retro inspired posters of these three social media giants.

Aaron an illustrator drew inspiration for his posters from wartime propaganda. So yeah, if there was such a thing as social media during "The Blitz", the Allied Forces and Axis Powers might have reached out to people with powerful symbolism like these.

Brian a media designer, derived the idea for his posters from the 2009 Iran election protest, activism, censorship and citizen journalism.

Stylish After 50

There is no age limit to being stylish and fashionable. One's fashion sense does not melt away into the sunset after 50. Plus there's absolutely no rule that says a woman in her 60s or 70s who has grandchildren must stop wearing make-up, painting her nails and wearing lovely clothes. Way too often have I heard the common refrain: " So old already why must dress up, who is going to look at us?" or "Already a grandmother, why want to do all this some more...." Said in typical Malaysian lingo of course! First of all, I don't get the concept of dressing up for other people. When you look good, you feel good, it is as simple as that. It is not about the number of people who might stop by to lavish you with compliments. It is about making a statement about who you are - someone who believes in looking good by wearing clothes that compliment her. Forget the white streaks in your hair, those faint lines on your face. Clothes, shoes and accessories don...

Aishwarya's Daughter

It was a big day for Bollywood yesterday, or for Bollywood fans at least when the reigning queen of Indian cinema Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was finally delivered of a baby girl. A big day and a big deal because speculation has been rife on when Ash would become a mum since she married Abhishek way back in 2007.

There was even one strange story about her visiting a fertility clinic in Bangkok to sort of um.....ensure that the baby would be male. Well so much for all those stories! The baby is finally here and it is a gi...
