What are those red things on the woman's academic cap on the U. of Incarnate Word ad?

<p>OK, so I finally figured out that on the CC ad for the University of the Incarnate Word, the faculty member’s photo is in front of a picture of a student who’s holding three red books. They’re layered so that it appears that the tops of the books are growing out of the top of the professor’s cap. The first few times I saw it, I saw the red things as being attached to the cap - kind of an academic Carmen Miranda look - and it appeared rather silly. Why doesn’t UIW fix their ad?</p>

<p>LOL! I think they are books being carried by the female student.</p>

<p>LOL! That’s what happens when a 3D setup gets “translated” into a 2D image. Some people do it on purpose. I’ve got plenty of pictures of me with stuff “growing” out of my head taken by H. And no, they will never be released on the web.</p>

<p>BTW, I’ve never heard of this U or even paid attention to the ad. Now I do. :)</p>

<p>I try to remember to click on one of the ads at the end of each of my cc sessions. I don’t remember seeing this one before; now I’m watching for it.</p>
