  • As Britain enters a period of deep recession, with some shops closing either temporarily, like Currys, PC World, Carphone Warehouse, or permanently as the economic downturn caused by the Covid-19 pandemic cuts hard, shoppers wearing face masks continue to come to the West End to Oxford Street while shops massively reduce prices in a wave of sales on 13th August 2020 in London, United Kingdom. The Office for National Statistics / ONS has announced that gross domestic product / GDP, the widest gauge of economic health, fell by 20.4% in the second quarter of the year, compared with the previous quarter. This is the biggest decline since records began. The result is that Britain has officially entered recession, as the UK economy shrank more than any other major economy during the coronavirus outbreak.

  • A young, vulnerable-looking youth stands close to two members of a local Evangelical church who are using a carpet warehouse as a temporary Ministry. Rolls of carpets and rugs are behind these Christians as the two officials practice the 'laying on of hands' to cleanse the soul of their young convert during a religious meeting in Newport, Wales. As the ceremony takes place when this boy is persuaded to accept Jesus into his life, two retail signs proclaim the prices and credit terms of the household items. The laying on of hands is a religious practice found throughout the world in varying forms. In Christian churches, this practice is used as both a symbolic and formal method of invoking the Holy Spirit during baptisms, healing services, blessings, and ordination of priests, ministers, elders, deacons, and other holy church ceremonies.

  • From high above the stacked crates and pallets of duty free merchandise at the British Airports Authority (BAA) secure facility near London Heathrow airport, a blurred forklift truck drives down a corridor moving fast away from two people in the background. In the foreground yellow boxes contain Gordon's Gin and Benson & Hedges cigarettes destined for the airports and aircraft leaving BAA terminals. We see the diagonal lane in this warehouse the size of a hangar, so vast is its scale. The workers in the distance appear dwarfed against the tall shelves of merchandise that they need to organise and keep a tally of. It is a picture of ultimate organisation and the efficient transporting of goods in and out of this logistics hub.

  • Beneath a huge banner that hangs from the exterior wall of the Ikea store in Croydon, South London adults await their partners to emerge from their shopping expeditions by the childrens' playground where a climbing frame and wood-chip surface protects young bodies from injury. The poster's message is simple and clear: That their customers and especially children, are our most important assets - our responsibility to protect their safety and well-being. Strong corporate Ikea colours are dominant, their well-known yellow and blue are known throughout Europe as well as the added banner in red. The fonts are in block capitals and possibly easy for young readers too to understand.
