3D Hand-made Models of Mountain Reliefs
Eduard Imhof (1895-1986) was professor of cartography at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich from 1925 – 1965. His fame far beyond the Institute of Technology was based on his school maps and atlases. In 1995 it was 100 years since his birthday. On this occasion several exhibitions celebrated his life and work, among others in Zurich, Bern, Bad Ragaz, Küsnacht/ZH, Barcelona, Karlsruhe and Berlin. The last such exhibition took place in summer 1997 in the Graphische Sammlung of the ETH. There it was possible to show a large number of maps and pictures in the original. At the conclusion of the exhibition Imhof’s family bequested his original works to the ETH-Bibliothek Zurich. Mrs. Viola Imhof, the widow of Eduard Imhof, being very much attached to his work, had a major part in making it accessible to the public.
Eduard Imhof not only cartographed and drew the mountains, but also modeled them. The three relief models he made are on permanent display at the Swiss Alpine Museum in Bern, in the Naturwissenschaftlichen Sammlungen of the city of Winterthur and in the ETH-Hönggerberg (HIL-Gebäude).

CIA ATHLETICA. Spend more time!
Cia Athletica ends with apology.
When spending time taking care of health and well being, it is common to hear ” I don’t have time for that, ” I can’t do that, “it’s impossible to get there”. Thinking on how to demystify these excuses and prove that there is no need to give away personal achievements in order to get in shape, DDB Brasil created a humorous campaign for Cia Athletica. The ads suggest that people will invest a little time on themselves and make a relation between the shape of people that spend time with hobbies and mannerisms with those who dedicate themselves to their own well being. The campaign has three parts, titled “Origami”, “Letters” and “Garden”. Continue reading »
White Power Milk
Sarah’s milk is bold, characteristically thick and buttery like melted vanilla ice cream. Collectors tend to enjoy her as a dessert. A little goes a long way, so take your time. Allow her flavors to permeate the mouth slowly. It’s not a race.
“Many are drawn to White Power Milk for the comforting certainty that our milk is the purest available. But it’s something more elusive, and difficult to put into words, that keeps our customers coming back. We create a select beverage that is not only more healthy for your body, but is culturally superior. Sure, the milk available at your local grocery store meets USDA government standards for quality, but these standards are set to a mere minimum of purity. You deserve the best.”
