I know what you mean Danski. Naomi Klein wrote a disturbing book about it.
But you are blaming the medium. That's not very fair. Advertising is used to stop people from smoking and donate money to amnesty too.
I agree. Most advertising is used for big brands and consumerism. But that doesn't take away that advertising found ways to communicate much more efficient and targeted than designers did.
I think designers and artists could learn from advertising. Ads are quite capable of explaining themselves. As for design and art. Most of it needs the artist to explain why he/she did things this way.
Designers and artists should tell more stories :) (concepts)
