The year 1999 does not seam so far away.

But Iceland and the world has lived through lot of changes since then.
To day Iceland got the first woman as a prime minister.
I will post some images of here as soon as I get them.
Until then you can enjoy images from an Ad campaign I did for the icelandic government in 1999 to increase the awareness of women and politics. This project involved all party leaders in Icelandic politics at that time.
I like to thank this work for many things changed in our society.
It won many awards around the world (but none in iceland) and is now used in one of USA most popular text books Advertising: Principles and Practice (7th Edition)
