It doesn’t take too much of an imagination to realize that if you combine some words with an image then it would say something. It won’t be a full fledged story but a message which can be directed towards some purpose. Television Advertisements are no different because they are not complete films but a short video message directed to you so that you may buy something.

I am however only gonna stick to the print ads which can be created on the go by giving some words to an image. A website is worth checking out in this regard because it retrieves images from flickr and generate some text for an image which on this crazy combination becomes something like an ad. The site I am talking about is called The Ad Generator and in their own language it is a “generative artwork that explores how advertising uses and manipulates language.”

The ad generator was created by Alexis Lloyd as a component of an MFA thesis project in the Design and Technology department at Parsons The New School for Design.
