Fucking horrible convenience store window graphics. Not picking specifically on the Poles here - and that example is actually relatively good, and at least clean, compared to most around here.
It's a nightmarish and unnecessary blight. Everybody knows what's in your shop. Polish lager, grot mags and weird tinned food. We don't need a 6ft x 6ft close-up picture of a salami.
And it's shop after shop, street after street. An arms race of ever more saturated images of shit shiraz and fake Magnums.
Some of the shops are actually nice, double-bay fronted victorian and could look really nice with clear windows and a bit of paint.
- Wow - every shop where I live is either H&M, Starbucks, Pret etc... Embrace the independent however bad the outside looks. The homogenisation of the High St isfadein11
- a hideous thing.fadein11
- where do you live? Westfield?Fax_Benson
- it's the ultimate homogenisation - they all look the same, just different colours / fizzy drinks / meats.Fax_Benson
- This is true for pretty much every deli market and grocery store in NYC too. Fading printouts of food and dishes to hide dusty windows.monospaced
- perfect branding in cities kills any charm. it's not an issue really. bad branding is fun to look at (as a designer at least).fadein11
- not Westfield nope... you get my point. on any high street where I live there is prob 1 or 2 independents. it's sad. greedy councils.fadein11
- If you had posted about vape / protein / mobile repair shop my response may have been different though.fadein11
- high end stores / chains do it too. This stuff just looks worse, obviously.Fax_Benson
- funnily enough I wasn't looking for your favourable response when I posted it.Fax_Benson
- I tend to live by the rule if a place has photos of the food it sells avoid at all costs (I do crack occasionally though), so it can be useful.fadein11
- Noone is after my favourable response here. None likes me.fadein11
