I like this very much.. Superb !!
But in our area if somebody keep a framed photo on wall means he/she passed away. So the 4th photo should not be on same way......I am confused... But that ribbon .......................! Yeah.

simple, easy to understand, to the point. liked it

radiuspublicis's picture 404 pencils

simple and easily digestible. However I don't see the consequence of not wearing it in the ad. All the same you won't be confused about anything. Very good.

the first 3 are dead. the black loops on that position of a photo, transmits the death.

thedesignaddict's picture 810 pencils

Smart.

radiuspublicis's picture 404 pencils

thank you granny.

we use red ink or ribbon or infact anything red to signify that a person is dead.

simbolism of colours depends on the culture of the country. i was raised in germany and i can assure u, that every german will understand the ad as i explained you.

No need to thank, the granny is here to help out!

nice visual approach

miko1aj's picture 1498 pencils

BAM! Sometimes someone presents an idea so simple and clear that it doesn't need any explanation and You wonder – it's so obvious that's so amazing that no one got it before. This ad is just perfect example of such a case. Bravo. I'm impressed.

WillyLatasa's picture 604 pencils

Dont like it!

matks's picture 404 pencils

Naither do I. Guys, it's a "fasten your seatbelt" campaign. The creativty bar is put much higher when it comes to such topics. This ad is just an old-school print approach. Nothing very bad, of course. But too naive and boring to compete.

pepsiice's picture 143 pencils

I like your idea and the layouting :) catchy from afar, but maybe you could make more dramatic? and look gloomier to dramatize the impact?
