The world without advertising.
Would you believe that your brain is flooded with around three thousand marketing messages per day? Everyday an estimated twelve billion adverts are displayed on our televisions with another three million radio commercials reaching our ears on a daily basis? But in September 2006, the mayor of Sao Paulo declared all advertising in his city a ‘visual pollution’, banning it all leaving pure white billboards and metal frames as replacement to the persuasive messages and lustful images. From this, I began to think, what would our scenery be like without advertising. What would our world be like without advertising subconsciously placed everywhere around us? Therefore these photographs are just an insight into London city without advertising. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to drive a negative or positive opinion on the multi-billion pound industry (my whole family is in advertising after all), just open your mind to the mass amount of advertising that sways your thoughts on the products that you buy everyday. Think about how many advertising logos, slogans or images that you can remember off the top of your head?
