Which giant would you prefer to work for: Google or Facebook?
It might be a question of personal preference. You can’t help but love one company’s work more than another, which leads to desire to work for them. Aside from that, you could use some objective measurements in choosing between the two.
Google Office

You do buy a lot of souvenirs when going on a trip or a holiday. Here is a suggestion of what you could do on your future vacations in order to spice things up. Take your souvenir and photograph it in such a way that it looks like the real tourist attraction it represents. This way you’ll have loads of fun and keep a nice memory. Also, a very fun way to spend your time sightseeing. I know I can’t wait to try this next time I travel on a vacation to Paris, New York or London etc.

Did you see the new transformers? Well, this design is not transformation, but still it is a remarkable unification. It’s a motorcycle with a car attached to it. So, if you have a girlfriend that doesn’t enjoy riding a motorcycle, which I really doubt, you can still ride your favorite motorcycle and let her ride in a car.

Organic Food Creative Advertisement
Organic food is healthy, but unfortunately fast food industry always gets its costumers by good advertising. This is an example of organic food industry striking back by employing the same weapons as organic food industry. These ads shows you what happens with your stomach when fat food come in it. Really creative ads.
