Quick Paint: Bench

Again, I have the feeling that someone has thought of this idea before. Still tried.

[The second one is an alternative execution as suggested. There is supposed to be a man painting the bench but I just used a brush to represent the man for this draft.]

I don't get it.

Hi Ivan. Usually when a bench is painted, a sign "Wet Paint" is placed on the bench to warn people not to sit on the bench. But since the paint being advertised is a quick dry paint (perhaps I failed to indicate this), the warning has been replaced by "Dry Paint" instead to tell people that it's okay to sit on the bench even if it has just been painted. :/ It's not yet the final execution. Just a concept.

It could work, but you may want to show just one bench perhaps, simplify!

Thanks. Initially, I drew one bench (like the one you can see now) but since I thought a bench that has already been fully painted would be better, I thought of adding more benches to indicate the original color of the painted bench.

The 2nd one is much better. Will this be print or ambient?

Print. May work as an ambient too with a bench that is only 2/3 painted.

I honestly don't get it when people say they dont get ideas sometimes on here. I mean, ideas should be CRYSTAL clear fair enough, but I got this instantly. And surely if one was to look at it for a while, as a designer we'd be able to get the concept even if the common person wouldn't. I like these a lot, though Art Direction could maybe use photography, are these just roughs?

I also thought the idea was straightforward though the first image (first image I posted) may not be as clear as the second one. This is just a draft. Not the actual execution.

And I think if it was photographic, with an ambient campaign to boot, the link between the two would be perfect and instantly recognisable.
