CANON FASHION WEEK: Ixus 80 and big hair

Good lord. You couldn't make this stuff up. Even if we had a budget, a photographer and access to some willing and ironic models/prostitues, it'd be tough to match this level of insanity from Canon's "fashion" range of product shots.



It's a nice and solid pincer hold, but the eye is drawn to the hair and model's bloodied eye rather than the product. This breaks rule #1 of Olga Konetskaja's famed Laws of Holding.



Nice extended pincer, but, again, the potential camera-buyer is much more likely to be staring into the eyes of the model wondering how much she'd be for a two hour girlfriend experience than thinking about the product.



Intricate hold, but, again, the viewer is much more likely to be wondering if the model's wearing a bra that's been rolled down out of shot or is actually topless than looking at the actual product.



Clearly she's a Top 10 world-class holder - if only there wasn't so much fluff.

The bottom one's a Photoshop job. They didn't even make the shadow look right.

I'd like to read Idiot Toys but I'm too distracted by the MASSIVE SONY ADVERT FOR PHONES superimposed over the logo.

Came here to post what Trilby said - banner just reads IDIO-YS. What a butchered mess of a blog this has become.

Marketing Tosser 1: "Ok guys... let's spin up this ideation session!"

MT 2: "Oo oo me me. Guys... We can play on the '80' thing and do, like, an '80s' shoot. Eh? EH? 80... 80's. See what I did there?"

MT 3: "That is sooooo awesome"


Google turned up Blade Runner and Steve Strange as visual aids... et voila.

trilby - if you think whats happened to Idiot Toys is bad, pop over to UKR and check out the carnage over there. It's rough. At least this is basically still the same site but with some extra marketing bollocks...

I see what you mean about UKR. There's some idiot posting stuff about Sega games on there as if anyone still cares.
