Ahhhhh, Anne Geddes. You've inspired us all :)

I gotta learn this technique. Everyone seems to be doing it except me.

She's been doing these mini babies: http://images.google.com/images?q=Anne+Geddes
But, not sure how they relate to this ad.

My bad, I meant Liebovitz (sp?). (It was late and I was high on the Easter Wine :P)

This typographic style first started when someone put type over this image: http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/img/1/0/8/2/10202801-10202807-slarge.jpg

It's been cropping up ever since. It's a beautiful technique, and one I need to learn.

I don't know who did it or how. But this is inspiring. One of the best typographic social ads I've ever seen.

Creativity is an inner monster.
