Final Piece

Practice Spray Painting

I had to put double sided sticky tape onto the back of my stencil so that would stick onto my board.

After I had stuck my stencil to the board I had to put on a mask to stop me from inhaling any fumes. After I was ready, i had to hold the spray can 30cm away from the board and do swift movements sided to side to cover the board.

Stencil Problems

I have had a little trouble putting my stencils together, as i have realised when i have a word in a box, I need to build bridges to make sure that the word stays in the stencil instead of just cutting the box out. This means i have to go back over my stencils and make sure that they are right.

Adbusters

Adbusters Media Foundation is a not-for-profit, anti-consumerist organization founded in 1989 by Kalle Lasn and Bill Schmalz inVancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The foundation describes itself as "a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age."

Adbusters is “anti-consumerist": it cites advertising as a central force in creating consumer culture. This position holds that the advertising industry goes to great effort and expense to associate desire and identity with commodities. Adbusters believes that advertising has unjustly "colonized" public, discursive and psychic spaces, by appearing in movies, sports and even schools, so as to permeate modern cultures.^[13] Adbusters' goals include combating the negative effects of advertising and empowering its readers to regain control of culture, encouraging them to ask "Are we consumers and citizens?"
