_Meanings of Value and Visual Language




_I've been meaning to blog this for the last few weeks - The first time I have ever seen a glossy fashion campaign printed in newspaper - they usually come within the suplements, but in this Guardian, came on the back page - it soemhow seems very vintage, as if harking back to the aesthetics of Manipulator magazine. Yet at the same time asks questions of contemporary culture - as when you lay the complete paper open (second image), it lies front page headlines of human suffering and pain right next to throw away consumer culture.
