From the books I picked up in the library and my research in the streets I have in particularly noticed that advertising billboards are extremely bulky and intrusive. I find this surprising as I do not entirely see the need for a new piece of street furniture when you can incorporate such two dimensional adverts onto three dimensional products that already exist. I think it is a waste of space especially considering the current lack of space in urban areas… I also think billboards are not exactly attractive and the one below for example is blocking out the view of a church in the background. I have decided for this reason my main focus is going to be creating different ways of incorporating advertisements into already existing street furniture.
Apart from this I have also been coming up with ways of incorporating a second function into existing street furniture.
I have started coming up with ideas and just need to get them all down in my sketchbook so I can then put together my A3 sheets.
