Im sorry - but isnt the concept a bit "hidden". I mean if I didnt know about the wave.... Would I notice it?

Is there any relation between the newspaper used and Western Australia?

not only it's been done before (Viva la france is right) but it's as hidden as much as the snowboarder was. nice awards work, but not really working for the normal reader.

if you people are relating it to that ski ad... You must be kidding...those ideas are different in so many ways. This is brilliant. the idea and the technique are better than the ski one. Not to mention, this ad has just won a gold at an award and the best newspaper ad.

Even if this one has been done before it's still doing something different to usual which is always welcomed. Interesting visual
