i think we are the target audience. that said, if they're trying to reach people who make ads all day, then this work isn't that good. i also don't like 'search inspiration' especially with half of it bold. are they trying to get me to bum around their stock photos in the hopes i shake something loose? if that's it, then it's a nice concept, but i don't think it quite comes through here. besides, that's what the 'uploaded this minute' page on flickr is for. you get some landscape, a plate of food, some amateur porn, and lots of vacation pics.
I'm with john doe. They are all boring as hell... There are much better angles.
The target will get it but are they gonna find it smart? Or just plain lazy? I know I did.
And are they trying to say something buy choosing 3 fallon ads out of 5? And the set of pictures chosen are a bit off. They seem like the ones I'd choose to describe them after seeing the ads, not the ones that would get me inspired before making them...
You're probably right, besides these are tv ads... inspired by a...photobank?

Change it, change it now coz they will tomorrow.
You find inspiration in a photobank to create... tv ads... hmmmf it's nice tho.

So the idea here is that you find these images in their image bank and you come up with great TV ads.
That's a nice thought but totally wrong.
To find these images you have to type in a keyword. I can't find a keyword that connects these 4 images that will then inspire me to create the Sony Cybershot ad.
That means I have to type in different keywords for each image. That way I already know what I'm after.
In other words, I got my inspiration elsewhere and I am just looking for images to put on my mood-board to accompany the storyboard.
I think that the real target for image banks is not ATL advertising agencies but BTL & PR-agencies, publishing houses that do magazines, etc.
I think it misses the mark by quite a bit. I don't want to search anything referencing work that's already been done. Especially when illustrated with boring pictures.
If you're targeting creatives show me a platypus, Saturn, a football and a carton of milk and talk about being able to inspire creativity.

Peraphs you’re right Javo, some creatives do. Anyway, I don’t think that’s the good way, to find things like Cadbury or Sony bravia. Thanks for your answer.
Dude we apparently are pay to have new ideas, not look in some bodys pictures and put a line on it. i think we are the target and this add sucks, the concept its wrong.

do i miss the point or is this just a very boring ad?
the target audience will get it...
but just referring to something good doesn't make this ad good.

Good idea, but I agree with Toro : Image banks are not made for inspiration.
Why do they all communicate on this ?

You´re wrong my friend. In the last years, the image banks started to sell themselves like inspirators. Because, some creatives use it for inspiration.
Look at this:

Te equivocas amigo. En los últimos años, los bancos de imagenes se venden a si mismos como inspiratores. Porque alguno creativos lo usan para eso.
