US online ad spend to surpass print in 2012
For the first time, online advertising spend will surpass print in 2012.
US online advertising spending, which grew 23% to $32.03 billion in 2011, is expected to grow an additional 23.3% to $39.5 billion this year. Pushing it ahead of total spending on print newspapers and magazines, according to new forecast by eMarketer
Marketers are expected to continue cutting their print advertising budgets for the next half-decade, spending $32.3 billion in 2016, 10% less than what they invested in print ads in 2011.
The study says the growing amount of time consumers spend with digital platforms and advertisers’ view of the internet as a more measurable medium especially as the troubled economy forces businesses to be more accountable with their ad dollars - are both significant contributors to online marketing's growth.
This year, eMarketer says TV ad spending will grow an estimated 6.8% to $64.8 billion.
Bottomline? 2012 looks to be bad year for newspapers and magazines and good for TV and digital advertising .

The strange thing about this TV commercial is that you can't see too much of the swimwear they're trying to sell. Maybe Victoria's Secret are branching out into sunscreen .
Behind the scenes of the girls shooting in Turks & Caicos.
Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima says, "Some of the bikinis are inspired by the Amazon" . "You really see the jungle through the bikini, also mixed with animal prints and vibrant colours," says Lima.

Herb Ritts: I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot
"I'd go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light. I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That's how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques."
~Herb Ritts
Herb Ritts (1952 –2002) , probably the greatest master of celebrity and beauty photography, convinced us all that the stars, the supermodels and even statesmen , were part of our everyday world.
Images that are dramatic,intimate and spontaneous. Herb’s groundbreaking approach is still the standard to which others aspire .
