i'm not thrilled about neither though...
Simple, relevent, fresh. Makes sense to me.
Okay, but larger question: were these "guerilla" applied? Or did they bother asking the landlord if they could use his elevators like this? I'm betting that, in NY anyway, if these appear, they'll be midnight strikes, the decal equivalent of graffiti, and they'll be taken down just as quickly.
this is probably agency's building.
they just need to ask themselves ;-)
Solid idea, effectively communicated and really makes you think about the plight of the prisoners.
