Forget the man in the moon. Twenty years ago, Swiss graphic designer Jean Robert discovered a face in a padlock. Since then, he and his brother Francois have been photographing the smirks, smiles, and pouts in everyday objects, finding uncanny resemblances to human and animal faces in everything from buildings to mops to shoes. In the lively spirit of Play with Your Food comes Faces, their collection of over 150 whimsical photographs that communicate a world of expression—all in one satisfyingly chunky book. Each beautifully designed page features a different object with its own quirky personality—and a hidden face guaranteed to make anyone smile.

As soon as I looked at the first few pages of this book I was hooked, from cover to cover this book is packed with an imaginitive look on the world and shows over 130 faces in places you would'nt have dreamed of looking for any meaning what-so-ever.
My advice to anyone who has'nt got this book is to obtain one as soon as possible, this book simply has a fun outlook on the moderm world.

Small, square, and friendly
