awesome!!!

mrtalented's picture 2175 pencils

the idea is nice but the art direction is poorly done. hugging the (in)visible text is a bit creepy if you done it wrong. a tighter shot of a female hand holding a letter and connected with a formed text of a guy's hand might me less creepy. or at least make her close her eyes and change her wardrobe will help.

i agree, i don't like the picture either. he looks like a mummy.
the idea's ok

mrtalented's picture 2175 pencils

be touched by a mummy! lol

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

a yummy mummy would be nice, but not a creature of the undead... unless necrophelia is your bag

your entire comment, philosophy and life is a failure.

this web is for sharing ads and comments about the ads. if you have problems about reading/accepting other people's comments, then don't access.

read my comment again. it suggested what i think it will improve this ad. everyone shares the same rules. take it or leave it.

i don't think judging other people's lives without knowing them personally will make anyone smarter.

You freaking arrogant, anus-looking moron. If all people in the the world would follow your advice, all ads in the world would look the same. Bug off.

mrtalented's picture 2175 pencils

i never forced or hope anyone in this world to follow my advices. i'm just here sharing my comments about the ads. and you are here to judge people you never knew?

enough said...

A. J. SMITH's picture 2850 pencils

Ooof.

So harsh.

I hope I'm never on your bad side.

Jonny Lonestar's picture 290 pencils

yes. something about spelling out what i should read as a very personal moment, complete with faces, bodies, etc.

I am not as connected as I could have been were I able to imagine myself in the situation.

tiny_wordz's picture 327 pencils

simpsonson's picture 136 pencils

nuclearshower's picture 233 pencils

Love the idea! but I dont like the girl facial expression... is like shes been thinking something else.. maybe other guy since her bf is away..

advert2ad's picture 237 pencils

I like it. But I would like to see that well done.

Ney Frances's picture 660 pencils

the insight is really good but the image f***ed the beautiful concept! shame on the art director

...

is there life before death?

Desi's picture 1052 pencils

good execution.

Erik's picture 88 pencils

hmm.. it's beautiful but it doesn't feel right. I agree with some comments above me. It feels like the girl is sending a letter to his dead boyfriend.
It looks visually awesome though.

How can you even say this it's not a good idea? It's beautiful. Just look at the bloody face. If I saw this ad as a big poster I'd be jaw dropped.

Nice one.. but the girl in the image should has more facial expression, as if she is looking towards some instructor.. Is this okay? Anyways nice concept..
