Brand vs Anti Brands

Brands vs Anti Brands was the theme for this seminar. This was a helpful seminar because it gave me a bit of information about Brands and Anti Brands so if I decide to go with that question for the essay, then this information here will help.

Anti-brand was a design movement where designers worked to undermine big corporate brands like Adidas, McDonalds, Sony etc. Below are some of the brands that we all see on TV, Signs, Billboards.






With these logos there is a hidden anti brand logo that was created against these logos's. Some are quite funny but some are not. Bellow are the Anti brand logos. It gives me a good idea on what a Anti  brand is and it is something that I am considering when looking at the Essay.





There are loads of different Brands and Anti brands that are similar to these.

We had a task to do in the seminar. This was was to look at a picture which is below and writer about this picture. 



This is what I wrote about the above picture:
  • AK47
  • Never held one
  • I know what it is due to playing Call of Duty
  • Some people see it as protection.
What this task did was to help us see the different ideas about one image. So this weapon, yes it is used for killing but some people use it in a game like I did and then others use it too kill and use it as protection.
