The core of billboard advertising is to grab attention and make a memorable impression almost instantly – making the reader chuckling, thinking or even talking about it. Billboards come in flavours of few or little words and very big prints of colours and quirky angles.

Billboards originated from the sides of buildings and then expanded alongside roads and highways. Nowadays billboards even come in digital – displaying running text, scheduling messages at different times for targeted audiences and alter between different images.

Below I have some billboards that are displayed in Detroit USA, put up by GM. They are golden oldies but you won’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you came from, right?
