Did I see it at the D&AD global student award for the HIV vaccine?!?!

brilliant!

I like the idea. but I don't like the copy. not engaging enough.

Really nice. Great thinking and an engaging idea. I'm quite impressed that it's student work, well done.

now this is cool! hail to new ideas and approaches!

Thanks a lot Ivan for putting up our student work as well!!!
It's a great opportunity to get feedback from all over the world
and to see what your ad does outside of the school!
THX!

And yes, we came to that idea based on the D&AD HIV vaccine brief. It didn't do anything there, the execution sucked...
We changed the client for our portofolio so that we don't always have to explain: "Yeah, when there is a vaccination, this might be a way to commicate."

Hi Camucic, you are right!! The first version was done for the HIV vaccine brief. But we thought there was nothing interesting for durex done with copy so we changed it. Now it's also more realistic.

Hey, Sal, good morning! Same minute, different place, haha! See you in school!

Good afternoon Julien! I've got a new online idea for Head & Shoulders based on our print campaign. See you in school.

let people who deserve health be the end of the sotory instead of a cheating ******** and a wedding crashing **** like they are.

It´s a nice way to involve people, for me its a good ad. Like it!

It's a nice idea. The copy is too long in the beginning, should be just a sentence or two. The second page can be as long as you want. Readers won't read too much before unfolding the page.

All right! I think this is a really good campaign for Hiv vaccine and even for durex, thumbs up!!

Did the rubber prevent them from getting the HIV in the first place or does Durex help them keep their secret? The reveal makes it seem as if they don't have to share some pretty essential info.

wow this is good, very good

nice...
