Advertising

December 28, 2012

In Bangladesh many different techniques are used for advertising. The banner below was made to advertise an exhibition I had in Sylhet in 1996 called ‘East’; it combined images from East London and Bangladesh. Like the advertising in the second photograph the message was painted by hand.
