I like the concept here. photography is o.k. but:
i think "Be Light" isn't enough. Not many brands can successfully pull off the one or two word tagline, or even 3. Nike's Just Do It says a lot about their brand. i dont feel Be Light does that for Puma.
the idea is neat but to me, it misses. are the shoes light? or is the backpack? i get the idea though, i think: shoes are helium balloon(s).
i dont think the artwork needs the extra light around the sneakers though. i think this is a good begining of an ad, but i think theres more work to do.

i agree with what you said about the tagline... i was supposed to make this execution neater and more things but i was trying to meet up with the assignment deadline... but i am ok with the result... thanks for the comment
Well I must say, I don't know what background you have but this one is postproduction worthy, really nicely done. The idea is an easy one but in my opinion puma doesn't need a really witty idea, this is simple, classy and fits the brand well.
nice

hey salem why didn't you put your whole campaign in one submission. i think that would have worked better, i like your campaign though (the visuals). nice retouching.
thanks for the comment... i already put them all here...
but the idea is done before. nothing new in idea. it was done in india for eg: monaco buiscuits, lite floaters etc. but as i said you have done complete justice to your idea.
this is the second time you are telling me this... i dont understand why you said it again as if i denied it... what i said is that its new to me because i never saw this idea done before... and if its done then its ok at least not with shoes...
thanks again
Nice idea, well thought of, but: did you put Helium in those shoes!!! Shoes do not fly, consider the use of wind instead and why this particular background? It's empty, no message coming through! And also your copy !!! White on white! Can i see te sun at the back of the shoes?? Where is the shadow? I think you got a very nice idea here keep playing and have fun...
this is supposed to be a sports arena but the background was to messy and i had no option but to replace it with a sky picture...
i did not put helium in the shoes... i was carrying it myself using a thread glued to the shoes and was cloned out...
i think the shadow is not a problem because if i used a lighting it would be the same as it is now...
good observation and thanks for the comment...
good observation deendas.
nice concept. u can do sum killer shit wid it.
jus work on d tag line i agree wid ppl abve tht 'be light' aint tht good.
because of seeing this so much i can't even think more for a better tagline... but i really need to change it... thanks for the comment
like the execution but the idea is just to old for me. it's been done for allmost every brands that sell light products here (belgium)
O
if you know where i can find the ads with the same idea, please send me the link...
thanks for the comment
yes, the idea of something being so light it's floating has been done: pepsi for diet pepsi had it at the top of the truck,,,it's on this website. that's just one example.
*but i do have these shoes & i love them because they weigh like an ounce!
sorry dude, donde before by Nike in Mexico City... can't find the ad, but there were tennis shoes floating and tied to electric lines.
Yeah! e.garcia is right. I've seen this idea on a nike billboard
I like these. They don't feel like anything new but there's nothing wrong with the concept.
As an art director i'm just thinking if there would be a nice way of doing them without even showing the shoes, the bag one they could be poking out a bit, and the ceiling one would be quite simple if it were just trainer prints.
That's just my opinion. Nice clean executions though, i'm just trying to think of a better benefit of having lighter shoes?
