Faces of Sydney - we're all bogans!
October 11th 2006 23:59
If you pop down to Custom's House in Circular Quay, you'll see quite excitingly this Faces of Sydney Exhibit. It's that thing you may have read about where they digitally imposed the faces of some massive sample of Sydney-siders into each other. As a result, we all look like this apparently.
Then they separate them into suburbs like Haymarket and Redfern.
Haymarket - more asian looking
Redfern - 3% more aboriginal looking?
I would have written some REALLY racist things but those damn Orble guidelines prevent it grrrrr. This whole Faces of Sydney things seems like a bit of a waste of money when we think of all the starving global-warming forests (wait... those are separate things right?). My theory is they just took a picture of one guy then ironically spent the rest of the funding on a dramatic escape via Harbour Taxi.
Anyway, i figured i'd do a REALLY cheap version of other important demographics that they neglected around Australia.
The Face of Melbourne
We've all seen that ad for Melbourne with that woman and the red string. See, Melbourne has to get all creative to lure people down its languid Yarra. Then when you get there it's all flat, brown and trammy.
The Face of Bris Vegas
I don't know who gave it the name Bris Vegas, but this next one I did professionally. I collected the face data of all three million Queenslanders and this was the eventual result. I wasn't surprised.
The Face Of Canberra
Poor Canberra, the capital not even its own designer has visited. Here's John Beazrudd for you.
The Face of Idol Winners and Laura Gissara
Gosh.. with Guy Sebastian's massive lips and eyebrowns, most attempts just looked like a Mr. Potatohead. I'm disappointed i'll never be able to include Lavina Williams' chasmic cleavage into the mix. OH well, happy nightmares!!!

lol..the combo of politicians is truly scary. Let's hope they stay in their separate parties but the Brisvegas identity is pretty spot on..
