Subvertising:
The practice of making spoofs or parodies of corporate and political advertisements. Subvertisements may take the form of a new image or an alteration to an existing image or icon, often in a satirical manner.
Work, Buy, Consume, Die:
Using big brand logos to help deliver the negative message of consumerism.
Photoshop on the U-Bahn Line:
This subverted ad highlights the reality that media images are photoshopped to achieve perfection.
The larger I make this the less the content matters:
Pointing out a common technique that billboards do, and highlighting that they have little information and meaning.
Sorry!:
This tackles the issue of advertisements promoting lifestyles, it does so in a mocking way.
The problem with subvertising is whether it has much effect or impact and whether it does anything to promote change. I think the most important thing to consider when doing my own ad campaign is how effective it will be at driving awareness. The message needs to be clear and consistent, similar to symbolism which I have talked about in my essay.
