Travelog: Expensive white space on the London tube
I love taking the London underground because it's full of advertising. There are posters for musical after musical (there's currently a Ghost musical, f.y.i.) and a whole gamut of ads for art and design exhibitions, events, products, etc, etc… Below is one of my favourites.

Many clients get nervous about excessive whitespace, but this is one ad that undeniably would not work without it!
If you can't read it in the photo to ad goes like this:
A Golf
is up
to 10%
cheaper to
run over
3 years
than the
competition. It's
true, no
need to
shake your
head.
Unbelievable value. Das Auto.
I love it! I only saw half of it at first and thought it was an unfinished install, but alas, I squinted to see and someone moved out of the way so then I understood! A great aha moment.

In a cramped and dirty space like the London underground that sort of white space would really stand out as clean. I wonder how they are measuring the spot, i’d imagine they would be happy with the results!

True Neil, it really did stand out.
