This is more of a nicely thought out design than it really is a concept right now. You could make it that way by rewriting the line to something more like "Use a condom, see another day." or "With a condom, you'll live to f*ck another day." Ok, so that second one was a joke, and you can obviously tell I'm not a writer.
The long and short of it is that it's a cool visual to work with, but the line needs to pull it through and that illustration isn't working yet either - but I do think this needs to be illustration and not photography.

I agree with bknowlden. 'Use a condom, see another day' is actually a very good line.
bknowlden, can you have a look at my work please? www.advertisingportfolio.blogspot.com
There is no hope with condom, Viruses will infect people who insist to make sins
No hope, forget it.

If your comment is based on insight, thats great. But if not, do you think you could leave your morals at home and judge the quality of work?

What kind of a comment is that, dear kalamala?
Facist. Doctor of what exactly... the moral high ground. God is love in all religions, stop preaching hate and oppression.
lol - this is like something Borat would say if he was in copywriting
try to make the art direction a bit sexier colors n stuff
idea's very nice
isnt the symbol next to the line used for cancer?
everartz
Actually the 'red' ribbon stands for AIDS. The pink one is for cancer.
thanks all for the constructive feedback. doctor/director, that was funny, thanks anyway.
popdistortion, what's ur comment on the ad?
A bit more work on the visual as well as a powerful but visual-complimenting copy
can make this ad really fun to see, while being such a nice but effective AIDS piece.
"the sun will come up tommorrow"
I think thats a great tag! :)
Put more work into the art direction and maybe using reds (little orphan annie visuals) and you have a nice piece for sure.

Weighter, sorry man, but aren't you merely explaining the visual with that line?
I think of it as adding a soundtrack to a visual to be honest. Its a very famous song, and it adds a nice dimension to it, kind of the euphoric afterglow of safe sex.
I know what you mean though, it may have to be delivered in a more obvious musical way than just where he has the tag now.
Soundtracks to print ads are awesome ;)

I still don't get what you are aiming at with that comment.
Thanks adDavide for your comment..

What's Kalamala's prob?
ha ha ha ha... it's really amusing. doctor, am i or this concept annoying u? religiously or something?
r u saying sex is sin, n so u shud avoid sex to be safe from AIDS? u r great, doctor. simply great.
but can u pls stop giving this ad so much of importance, bcoz i don't want it to be discussed anymore. i have received constructive feedback, n i want to post it again after i do the needful. so i don't want others to spend time on this anymore, let them move on to other interesting stuff on this site. coz others seem to be very disturbed by ur comments. pls doctor, let's move on...
OK, I will not.
But I did not say that sex is sin, I am talking about wrong sexual relationships e.g. boyfriends and girlfriends, gays, lesbians who usually use condoms for the purpose of protection agains HIV.
Husband and wife usually do not use condoms for protection..
So, there is no hope for people who make sin and insist to make sins. They should forget this hope through a condom! the real hope is to stop this kinda sin, and be good people and pray to the God.

How the hell do lesbians use condoms?
come on! you are not annoying me personally! on contrarily, you are so kind by your words..
Dr. Kamal
Creative Director, Graphic Designer & Pharmaceutical Copywriter
F off you backward hick. People like you make the world an ugly place that won't tolerate the individual. Sin is relative to who you are, don't go round preaching to ad people, we're a whole lot more open minded.
Kamal, you live in a very weird place that exists outside the realms of reality. So, people should not have sex before they are married? How antiquated and utterly mindnumbing is that? And one more... are you homophobic? Wake up! Are you actually in advertising?

popdistortion, u still have not commented on the work, that'll be useful. of course if doctor
relieves u, that is.
Sorry, got a bit carried away there. I think that you have a nice background thought there (Live to see the next day). The illustration itself is good but I don't think that it works for me though I guess that a sunrise is the best way to depict a new beginning. You often hear about this lifechanging experiences when people had a near death experience. That they pay more attention to detail etc. Maybe there is something in that in the sense that someone can actually appreciate life a bit more. At least that's what I think.

Popdistortion, If you keep replying to him (Kalamala), he'll never stop preaching.
Leave him alone, glorifying his heavenly self. In other words, let him jerk off!!!
Sorry, AdDavid that I will answer them..
Yeah! I am in the advertising field of pharmaceutical promotion. We do not use nudity in our artwork.
Yeah! we do not practice sex before marriage and I think that it is the right path to paradise in this life and the other life. I think real christians agree with me.
If you wanna have a look on our "creative" artwork "without nudity", you are welcome to be invited.

Dr. Kamal--
THe pharmaceutical business, eh? Do you know that you are helping enable huge conglomerate companies to extort the sick for high-priced medicine and also aiding in pharmaceutical companies' repeated (as you would say) "sinful" manipulation of money, power, and greed?
Pharmaceutical advertising is satan, Dr. Kamal. You're going to hell even if you haven't had sex yet. Them's the facts.
(i am in no way insinuating that 'regular' advertising is worthy of a white dress either)
I've run out of fuel on this dude Kamal. What the heck, leave him in his little world. More for us then...
http://www.reinhardkrug.de/
QueRidiculo..
Thanks that you warn me, but we do not support such kinda pharmaceutical companies. Personally, I do select ethical pharmaceutical companies that offer effective medicines.
And even though, dealing with a pharmaceutical company which offer highly-priced medicine is not the issue from the marketing point of view, as we do not lie though our promotional message when we mention that that medicine is effective and convenient..bla bla
If there is a sin in high prices of medicines, then the sin is on the company itself through the owners.
Just wanna say, that I did not say that I will be in paradise or vice versa. No body knows, just God.
May God help sinners to stop their sins, and meet all of us in paradise cleaned from our sins. We all make sins, but the point that there is a big sin and people who insist to make big sins; even after reminding them that it kills in this life and in the other life as well.
Anyway, back to adv. world...

Dude..Kamala.... In heaven you will get 70 virgins...you will have sex with them without getting married.... :-) .
( I am not making fun of any religious issue... Hope you'll take it as a friendly joke)
Mo
Yes, we beleive that man in heaven (paradise) will have many virgins, but this does not make that it is a sin, it is a gift from God; for people who follow the right path...
Thanks Mo.

Creative Director, Graphic Designer & Pharmaceutical Copywriter
hahaha! Do you not see the irony in this? That it is sinful to have sex on earth with anyone but your wife - but once you get to heaven "god" himself rewards you for your lack of sins with the very thing you are trying to tell everyone is a sin?!
No, I think that you lie on God words ! take care .
promo-PHARMA
stop
talking
about
this...is not a religious forum.
I would like to invite all of you to have a look on this adv.!
http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/one_condom_tunnel?size=_original
I think that any one who think to practice sex with illigal partner, should re-think before making this sin.
Use adv. to correct the world behavior..

OK, i know this forum topic has become ridiculous.
But i have a question for the doctor.
And i ask this un-maliciously:
What happens for women when they die?
70 virgin men?
What's their "gift from god" (as you say)?
Gucci handbag?
i'm not necessarily saying your heaven is misogynistic. but i'm curious...
As long as we speak and fight in a friendly manner, I guess we can talk about anything here.
QueRidiculo, I also asked that question before ( hey but your "Gucci handbag?" didn't sound that friendly though ). Women don't get 70 men. I am not quite sure what they get, will ask someone who might know.
Every religion has some hopes and promises that can't be explained or proved. For a follower of one particular religion, all the stuffs from another religion look totally weird. There's a lot of things in every religion that can make followers of another religion burst into laughter or raise their eye brows.
Peace.
Dr. Kamal, hope you are taking all this discsn in afriendly manner.
Hey...dudes...I found the answer from a friend of mine who knows the deal cause she studied and pretty much explained me the stuff.
In heaven ( according to the religion we were talking abt) there won't be any urge for sex. The 70 virgins will be asexuals. Women and Men both will get them.
All the people in heaven will be young again.Same age ( yes, Granpa becomes dude again ) there will be 70 virgins for everyone, but no one will have the urge to have sex over there. So, the bottom line is: In heaven both men and women will have 70 asexual virgins that will take care of them and no one will feel the need to have a F**K.
Peace.
mo
Actually, I dunno the answer. But, I think God will gift them more than what they like and expect. This is Heaven!
From my information, the wife will be the master of these virgins and the wife will be more beautiful than she was in this life and she will be more beautiful than these virgins, and they will serve her as well as her husband.
But I wanna ask you a favor, do not make fun on relegious topics.
Thanks,
Dr. Kamal
Creative Director, Graphic Designer & Pharmaceutical Copywriter
...so there are slaves in heaven?!?!?!? that is amazing!
also, isnt heaven supposed to be well...heaven? people care about how beautiful they look in heaven???
where are these slaves coming from???? maybe they are those who remained virgins in the first life...relegated to a life of servitude amungst those of us who had tons of oogey gooey delicious sex on earth.
none of this makes any sense.
im not sure if i want your heaven if every one person has 70 enslaved virgins that they cant even fuck.
As much as I dislike Kam the c&nt, because he preaches to us, I don't insult his religion. I just don't want it thrust up on me in an advertising forum. So your comment is equally unwelcome. Once again the arrogant imperialist yank strikes again. 70 virgins VS three Gods in one... makes about the same f'ing sense to me. I'm divided on how to respond to Kam who's dedicated enough to his beliefs to constantly remind us all the time that we're sinning and the dumb Yank on the other side who's an ignorant bigot... hmmm... if only we had gladiators, I'd love to watch you both cut each other up for the rest of the sane world's entertainment.
Yehaaaa! Exactly. I like grey... I meant the colour. All shades of it.

Dr. Kamal, I never wanted to make fun on any religious topic. If it had happened, sorry for that.
Dr. Kamal, as a creative director, you should be aware that part of your job is to respect other belief, customs, and cultures, so much so that you can create appropriate ads for specific briefs. But then you are actually imposing your own faith into this forum and as you can see already, it absolutely doesn't yield any helpful result. I'm sure you would want to be respected by other creatives as much as they want to be respected. So I think you better stay "culturally impartial" when you make your comment. Also, I'm really amazed that you feel offended when people make fun of religious topics. I am not fond of doing that, but others who do not understand your religion may be tempted to do so. C'mon, needless to say that it's because you are planting your seeds in the wrong backyard... so don't be surprised if they smack you with your own shovel. MY FRIEND, THIS IS NOT A RELIGIOUS FORUM!!!
Thanks Mo for your nice words, and sorry for misunderstanding.
Calibara, thanks for your words which guide me somehow. Relegious opinions really guide the creative director on the adv. concept especially if it was related to this culture.
AdDavide, I think this adv. concept is not accepted in Bahrain (where you are resident in).
