I grew up in the 80s and that was the first time advertising was considered seriously as anything resembling an art form.
Stanley DonwoodI really love newspapers. They are disposable. They are recyclable. They fall apart so easily. They are not like iPads or Kindles that can't be disposed of and end up on some third-world shore. And I love the heritage of them, the whole history of mass communication. Newspapers changed the world from being a really class based, feudal system to people being able to cheaply get information that informed them.
Stanley DonwoodI liked taking the elements of roadside advertising out of context because it removes the imperative and just goes to the essence of it - the pure heart of advertising.
Stanley DonwoodI come from a generation in England that considered making money or trying to promote yourself to be morally suspect.
