Reclaiming Adverting Spaces

Advertising isn’t an inherently bad action but done widely and to a big enough extent can cause damage in addition outdoor visual advertising is one of the last remaining non-opt-out styles of advertising, this means we do not have a choice to costume the content or not.

These adverts are often taking up a small percentages of the public’s visual space but used in multiple locations around a commuter’s daily trips can build up the con- tact time between the advert and the individual.

Reclaiming adverting spaces as a project investigated potentially harmful positive relationship between product adverting and commuters.

Twp Bus Stop adverts were removed and replaced with an image showcasing the inside of the shelter effectively removing the advert completely.
