When talking about Product Placement for women, there can be lots of different cases that ring the bell, maybe because of the role that women have traditionally played as the deciders of what to buy for the family.
A show that many companies have used to promote its brand’s visibility in a very effective way is the célèbre sitcom Sex in the City.
This TV series is not only a cultural product, but also an advertising medium with a very concrete target, which is very useful to advertisers.

Due to the discussion started on the elder post Photoshop: ¿use o abuse? I am going to give the debate a new approach.
Personally, I agree with everything we talked on the other post. The law proposal seems to be a way to distract our attention from other mayor problems, as many governments have been trying to do lately.
But on the other hand, we find photographers such as Jill Greenberg or Garrigosa who base their work in retouching techniques with a lot of talent, and that shouldn’t be banned.
We should be really worried about some models’ extreme slimness, as that is no digital retouching… it is real life. Paris Fashion Week is an example of what we need to be concerned of. During its celebration controversy was once again raised, as some of the models didn’t reach the minimum weight required in many countries… and that happens in the same country that wants to tag the use of Photoshop!

Nowadays, her works can turn of this contemporary artist in the own collections of the museum Guggenheim, in Bilbao and in Fondation Beyeler (Basle), from 01-11-2009 to 24-01-2010.
Holzer begins to work around the word as aesthetic value in yes same; as work of art capable of transmitting of clear, simple and attractive form a message that, in case of the work of this genial North American, she touches matters of nature political, social, of Kind, or environmental. Her first offer in this respect they were the famous Truism, a collection of aphorisms that she stamped on t-shirt and cartels, distributing them for New York. In them appointments could be read as Protect me from what I want or Abuse of power you eat ace not surprise; short and direct texts loaded with meaning and intentions, which always they invite to a deep reflection on the part of whom they read them and which in many cases play with the ambiguity, the contradiction, the double reading, the humor and the irony; turning into a faithful reflex our paradoxical life.
Nümph is a “made by and for women brand”. They are a few Danish girls that have been created a beautiful fashion brand. North European people are in- the- know. Their collections are special and brave, but without being too trendy. As they say, their clothes are for a self confident and independent woman, who likes to stand out for her own personality. Inspired by the “nymphs” and their delicated strength comes up Nümph.
Pantene made an announcement for Thailand is having a major impact on the Internet. It tells the story of a deaf mute girl who gets to learn to play the violin masterfully at the expense of effort and struggle for self-improvement. It passes from the frustration of a world that does not understand it until the release of its essence, thanks to someone who believes in them. It compares the history of the girl with the metamorphosis of a butterfly where we see the release of the butterfly that flies to the top.
