Billboard space

Contained within the image for pages 2 and 3 there is a space left out for a billboard. The space should give information or relate to the overall theme of the story. As the story is based on the theme of slavery I though that having something related to the fashion industry might be appropriate. Thinking further though I realised that our consumer based economy feeds many aspects of slavery so I decided to make an advert for black friday as this covers more than just fashion. There is also debate as to the true meaning of black friday. People from retail explain that this particular weekend was always seen as working to a loss financially, i.e. in the red. So they created black friday to turn things around and make a profit, i.e. in the black. However other contest that this is an old term related to slavery. Friday was the day slaves were bought and sold in what were essentially human markets and this is where the term derives from. Due to this debate I felt that having this type of argument lead me to choosing such an advert for the billboard as it relates to the themes in many ways. To make the billboard I took the shape from the image, scaled it up to fill an a4 sheet and then drew this on a separate piece of paper with the inanition of scanning and then scaling down. The shape and images are shown below.
