20. Fascinating how color use in media is so rooted in the culture.

The language and color choices are very often rooted in the culture of the person producing the work. It can be a really subtle thing sometimes, pretty evident other times. In this case, just looking at the ads without knowing anything about their creation you are left with a feeling of "strange".

Presenting them as the work of "foreign" creators makes it a conscious awareness and the patterns come to the forefront. How did everybody miss this before? Makes me wish I had the ability to "replay" my timelines now.
