That's assuming I'm reading this current iPod image correctly, of course? To my eye, the young hipster above would look right at home taking a bullet on the bloody battlefields of the Spanish Civil war.
Apple have been known to appropriate iconic images to advertise their wares, so maybe this is an intentional reference to Robert Capa’s renowned image? Can't for the life of me think why though. Maybe it's a start of a new campaign? Do you think Capa would have used an iPod?
Or maybe this is just what the kids call "dancing" these days, hey? :)
UPDATE: Bomber, I think you could be on to something (see Comments)! I just stumbled across the image below and your prediction was very close. It's a whole new round of iconic image appropriation to sell stuff! More iPods! Wooo!

Maybe they are trying to Quote in a different way, rather than text, as an image...
ReplyDeletePerhaps the next one will be the classic Michael Jordan jump with legs spread and white ear pieces falling out while the image attempts to jam an ipod onto something out of reach? Well Maybe...
Is that a fair dinkum iPod add? or just something you mocked up?
ReplyDeleteI'm flattered! :)
ReplyDeleteJust something I mocked up.
