Hand attached to Machine



 These are magazine ads in a graphic designer’s book. They are advertising handcrafted boots and shoes. The point they are trying to make is that there products are handmade. They show a real human hand attached to a sewing machine and the hand is actually doing the sewing.





They show a hand wiping something off, like maybe a boot.  Then they show a hand hammering something down instead of the machine doing it. I think it’s a little creepy that they have a hand attached to a machine doing the work. This ad would certainly not be in a kids or animals magazine. I could see this in a shoe or a hunting/fishing magazine. I get the point that they are trying to make, which is that the boots are handcrafted, so they actually put a hand attached to the machine. I still find it a little creepy and strange.
