Following up on Karl's idea to re-look into Ad-Busters in a bit more depth and Kalle Lasn (one of the founders) I gathered some interesting research.
I also watched a lecture by Kalle Lasn however he was more focused on designers and our role rather than on advertising and commercialism.

The points I did take away from it were:
* designers are corporate slaves to their clients
* aesthetic at the moment is quite organic (unclear lines, script type). This is because of the 'green' way of thinking and environmentally/sustainable ideas present in society.
