The culture is getting smarter. I would believe that most of you know, or have an idea of what that picture has overlaid on it. It’s different tools and buttons from the popular photo editing program Adobe Photoshop. I love how graffiti and public statements are becoming way more techy like this. More advanced programs are becoming a norm for the average person. The same way almost everyone know MS word, excel, etc, programs like Photoshop and other programs for making basic websites will soon follow. Kids will learn / be taught these at a very young age. I’m waiting for schools to have kids start keeping blogs instead of journals for the Voyage of the Mimi 2: In Space. It’s gonna happen. You can’t stop it!
It kind of coincides with my philosophy when I’m hiring / interviewing someone. I have always said, for anyone who is applying for a high-level job, especially if it involves any technology, why would you put Microsoft Office Suite as a skill set. Ok I understand putting down “I can do complex Excel programming / formulas.” I can respect that. But you are versed in Word? Really? Yeah, so is a kid in kindergarten. Can you type an e-mail and search Google as well? I’m sorry but that’s like 100 years ago if someone put on their resume they could read.
Haha, anyways back to the point. To use these panels from Photoshop over the images, obviously making a statement about how much post work goes into these models is so comical to me. I love when people remix billboards like this. Taking one person advertising campaign and hi-jacking it for their own. Brilliant. But hey, on a side note. If my mug was part of a national billboard campaign, please Photoshop the fuck out of my face. Make me beautiful….
