The Jack of Spades is known for his education, training and love of his craft; his intentions right and honourable. He also has a darker side, cunningly shrouded in secrecy and irresponsibility (http://www.metasymbology.com/). This blog aims to reveal some of the traits within advertising that both awe and disgust us as we are assailed by the ever-present consumerism that we endure in a capitalist nation. I will be looking at hierarchy, symbolism, psychology and other selling topics while investigating the depths and heights to which some ads go to in order to fulfill their goal – convincing us of what we need to be happy. I will be playing the role of the Jack of Spades, in an attempt to divulge some of my own dormant wants and crystallized needs. I hope to bring this forum into a realm of discussion so that the voice of the masses can also be heard. We are all just cards in a deck waiting to be played to win the pot of everlasting bliss, and marketing be the chips... but you can't eat just one ;vp.
