Notes

What really interested me about this exercise was seeing how much branding is placed everywhere. I’d never noticed how easily I could spot a “priceline”bag in a sea of people or how many people wearing “superdry” t-shirts exist in the city. It’s one of those things you don’t even think about until you look for them, so now I’ll probably be noticing them a lot more before I learn to stop.
