Let your skin do the talking

Yesterday this huge advertisement attracted my attention. (can you blame me?! ;-)) I believe it was a series of three. There wasn’t a lot of time, so I forgot the first one, but the second had something to do with food and had a cup of Noodles on it. This one was about skin. The dragon tattoo looks a bit like the one Magdalena ‘Spike’ has on her back 🙂

Anyone knows what this campaign is about? And who the model is?

A great movie poster design from the Korean movie Uninvited (4 Inyong shiktak, 2003). The girl on the poster is Ji-hyun Jun. Curious about the movie? Read a review, because I didn’t see it yet.

You will not find nudity in magazines on the streets of Vietnam, but you will find beautiful women everywhere. They even put them on their stamps. I’ve bought a couple as a souvenir.
