this is cool, but looks photoshopped to me.

anyone in dubai seen this?

ivan's picture

It's done for Marocco, hence the French headline.

I'm glad you mentioned that... i was just thinking where the hell in Dubai is that street?? Cool idea though :)

could be coincidence but i think your right, the trees outline repeats itself behind where the rest of the board should be.

good catch

I'm with kre8, it seems nothing but a photoshop work.
Great idea though.

If you have the money why not making your own kind of media, I'm all for it. :)

Big time fake. Great use of media if it actually hits the streets. Otherwise, booooo.

MissOnyl's picture 40 pencils

oh it's gorgeous, but i wonder how they made the billboards into that particular shape?

Erik's picture 88 pencils

this is very smart, it looks very photoshopped though, better blend the billboard
colors with the background before enter it to award shows. hehe
