This was a piece of advert I did for a company called Jupiter Advertising. The task was to create a recruitment advert for a mayor in Manchester.

Just give me Love by Ee-Reh
This is a passage written by my very good friend Ee-Reh Cha, who is an amazing woman of God. She writes many spirit-breathed passages like this because of who Christ is and what He has done for her, and I hope this encourages you.

Even the sound ofContinue reading “Home”
Soap imperialism
Imperialism is a dense and complicated subject, and these soap adverts show us the culture and mindset of a particular people (British colonialists) towards another (non-British/white) during a certain period in history. In the advert shown here, a black baby becomes white after using Pears’ soap to wash. This infers that the black skin isContinue reading “Soap imperialism”
