Body Art in Ads

"The Church says: the body is a sin. 

Science says: the body is a machine. 

Advertising says: The body is a business. 

The Body says: I am a fiesta."

Pretty in Print: Russia

I'm starting a new bi-weekly feature: Pretty in Print. Advertising can be so beautifully designed in its most traditional form. Even with the plague of social media marketing and the obsession with new technologies, good art direction and copy are the fundamentals for an ad. Print advertising can be the most effective medium for getting your message across.

Today we are going to Rossiyskaya Federatsiya, the land of contemporary creative cities and charming historical towns. Advertising agencies in Russia have created gorgeous pieces that capture the country's identity and display each brand's authenticity.
