CUT-UP MX Billboards
CUT-UP MX is a blog dedicated to Mexican billboards.
Chopped up, partly exchanged and randomly assembled they often become exciting commercial collages.
Rumors say that once a company’s advertising time is over and a new hirer is still to be found, the pieces are mixed up to disguise the sales message.
CUT-UP MX is run by Norman Palm, associate of fertig design, Berlin.
