Capri Sun Apple Smile

Capri sun have anthropomorphised an apple for their packaging. Nice use of a smile and apple to make their drinks look fun and happy. Good job they dont have a watermelon flavour, they might get in trouble like Boris!

August faces

Some new faces. From Ripon, Camden, Stoke Newington, Festinho, the West End and some other places. Enjoy.

Face Banquet: 6th August

Here are the faces. ALL THE FACES. These come from around London, the Lake District and Colchester. Look at me, I'm a jetsetter!

Two Film Posters

These two faces have been created to promote the films Cabin Fever and more recently Premonition. Of course seeing a face in an object should symbolise horror and mystery, especially if it is Sandra Bullock's face made out of twigs. It is interesting that both poster producers have gone for a similar approach, one which is quite subtle and very effective and the other which is cheesy and contrived. I thought that the film Cabin Fever was entertaining with some great dialogue, from the poster I have a feeling that Premonition would be a very poor effort!

Face Garnish: 30th July

I have collected loads of new found faces. Processing them all is taking a while. You will soon be served a fine banquet of new found faces. Here is the entree!

Molly's Eyes - Found Faces Book

Piggi sent me an email to tell me about Molly's Eyes, his collection of found faces dedicated to his diabetic daughter.



You can see and buy his book here:

Molly's Eyes

These faces are beautifully photographed and capture the situation and environment with great effect.

Marilyn Einstein

I noticed this excellent face based optical illusion in this Saturday's Sun Newspaper.

If you look at the picture close it looks like Albert Einstein.



If you look from a distance it looks like Marilyn Monroe!



This illusion created by Aude Oliva and Antonio Torralba of Massachusetts Institute Of Technology and Philippe Schyns from Gasgow Unviersity.

This is an excellent example of the different way that our brains can process visual information. We are looking at exactly the same image, but our brain will work out the best way to process the information. The sharp image of Einstein is dominant in our vision close up, but then the blurred image of Monroe takes dominance at a distance.

I notice that this illusion works as well if you blur your eyes.

French Facecast: 09th July
