to forced

Totto's picture 687 pencils

i agreee.. forced!!

Intelligent ads are the need of the hour.

Punch's picture 616 pencils

No es forzado. Lo que sucede es que al voltear el aviso
no vas a sentir la emoción de un TODO TERRENO.

Mientras no vivas la experiencia, no estás forzando nada.
Debería colocarse algo más de fuerza. Es muy débil y difícil
de ejecutar.

Naziro's picture 350 pencils

confusing! and over used

mrtalented's picture 2175 pencils

does it work in italian? i know only 'wind chime' not 'wind chim'.

ladylee's picture 223 pencils

it's CHIC...not chim

mrtalented's picture 2175 pencils

then the calligraphy fails. it reads 'chim' to me.

Yokel's picture 610 pencils

I got the chic, but read wilp. :/

The text-graphic has nothing to do with cars, or with being wild or chic. Falls through the floor because of that. The stlye of text was chosen simply so they could write the two words Stephen Langdon stylee, but there's no connection to anything else.

Hand's picture 197 pencils

you can also read it as WILD CHIC :D

jonathanrioux's picture 86 pencils

I love the fact that the ad involves the reader to turn to magazine upside down. Interactivity is always good.

Saltsea's picture 321 pencils

very nice in my opinion.

backinfivemins's picture 19 pencils

It is confusing. Bad typography. They should have hired a professional.

Oz's picture 60 pencils

How about Shit&Shit?

me thinks's picture 722 pencils

Too bad for Audi. Didn't like it.

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

I think it says WILD or CHIC.

Is that what it looks like to everyone else?

Either way, it isn't that clear for me.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

From The Da-Vinci Code?
Don't make me come round there! :)

Put the brakes on the R-Train.

Doin' it for the points

Gunnbiern's picture 8 pencils

some body to many thicking ))))

i read chic wild at first time.

awesome AD )))

LifeIsAVainBattleAgainstOblivion's picture 48 pencils

maybe you did it, dude, that's why you got it so quickly :)
too much talk already. it's hard to get because of the poor typo work. overall thumbs down.

veritas's picture 90 pencils

I don't agree with Gunblern at all.
The reading is not immediate.

Even if one could understand it immediately, this device has already been successfully used by Olay, prize-winner, with MOM readable as WOW once turned upside down, or 81 readable as 18 (the ads were about an anti-age treatment). Therefore, at least try to copy great works a bit better!
