The original image above depicts a half naked women holding a phone like it's some sort of lust-filled status symbol. The ad is about the phone's photo quality, however the tagline "Picture Perfect" I'm sure could be talking about other things. The photo is flawless and the scene is typical of fashion and modern technology photography. So, after finally becoming sick of seeing ads that turn phones into more than they really are, I decided to put mine in the trash. This image is a recreation and a commentary on ad culture. It is a recreation because it still presents the phone in a moody/intriguing manor. However, it is also a commentary because a cell phone is nothing more than future trash. We outgrow phones so fast, and no matter how much beauty was in the original handset we bought, that little brick will soon end up sitting atop orange peels and old sticky notes.
