First Canvas design - The ad space

As promised in the last blog post I’ve designed the new canvas - although they are still very much .psd type like the physical artworks should be here in any minute. The first canvas are the typical [Bli:p]’s work you’d expect – I tried to bring out the power of raw empty spaces while still presenting the main idea in the few necessary lines. 

As the world’s biggest brands mark their existence in the world by scrawling giant slogans upon 3 metre banners, the companies have succeeded with their devious plans. Every person, exposed and dragged into the colorful warfare, wanders the town not noticing the fact of him being a simple weapon in the hands of the urban maharajahs, leaving himself vulnerable for the subconscious attacks. We go into a shop and pick the stuff the slogans told us to, not noticing there’s a cheaper and as qualitative alternative every time. The urban landscape of b-advertising have got us in a state it just seems right to buy their stuff. We’re being bombarded from every space in the city and now – even from every space of your living room.
