The Most Unusual and Strange Architecture from Around the World

Here are some unusual and very different buildings that I stumbled upon. You can check the rest out here.



PhotoShopped or Not Photoshopped??


Here is a website I found that showcases Photographs that have not been photoshopped at all. It's pretty amazing that some of this pictures are how things naturally appear. Click here to see the rest of them.




Animal Photography

I'm not sure who these photographs are by but I thought they were amazing and wanted to share. I was drawn to the bright pops of colors with all of them. 






Just a few more Ads

Well it's the end of the semester and classes are coming to a close. So here are a few more ads to end the semester.



Everything you touch is on your hands and now it's on the next thing you touch. You and every thing you have every touched is now on this door knob.


Even the straw doesn't want to drink Coca- Cola or anything that isn't a Pepsi.


I think this is rather clever, In reality that camera would never fit in that crack but the companies creating this ad want you to think that in order to get you to buy there product, Although if the camera was that thin I'd be afraid of losing it.

Fast Food

In my final research paper for this class I am discussing ads just as I have been posting interesting ones all semester. When researching for this project I came across the advertisements for fast food. The pictures they put before us make their food look amazing and delicious but in reality we get a half-asked sloppy mess that never looks anything like the picture. All restaurants do this, tricking us with their pretty pictures to get us to buy the food.  Here are a few examples of what I mean...


Taco Bell's Nachos Bell Grande
This is what you really get...




McDonald's Big Mac


This is how they give it to you...



Burger King's Whopper


and here's your food...
