How do we get the message across? Is a ready-made printed card more sincere than a sometimes clumsy but made by hand card? Do greeting cards actually illustrate the greetings at all? With white cut-out decorations placed on white cards, plus related consumer spending statistics printed on the inside, viewers are free to interpret and consider their own response to these questions.
Now Consume is an exhibition of work by visual communication students from The School of Creative Arts & Design at the University of Wolverhampton and has been developed in response to issues around consumerism and material culture. Themes for discussion and visual enquiry include consumer debt, independent retailing, recycling, brand deconstruction, and over packaging.
