USAThe problem with most anti tobacco campaigns is that they don’t confront people with reality. They intend to be shocking but it’s just not real. In this case the campaign does both. Real victims of throat cancer are singing a song on a parade float. The reactions of bystanders are captured on film, now that’s confronting.
RomaniaToday we present you something completely different. When advertisers put out billboards there are also some risks involved with it. People can alter them, some call it vandalism others call it street art. The last few years this new art form popped out on streets all over the world. One of the most influencing artists in this world is without a doubt Banksy. The Londoner has been inspiring artists all over the world. In this example you can see how street art can influence outdoor advertising. An artist called Monotremu glued a message on this billboard resembling a warning on a cigarette package. The translation says: “Santa Claus Doesn’t Exist”. The message was probably removed after a couple of hours, but the pictures are timeless.
