Nice idea

saidukaringa's picture 273 pencils

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.

shadow's picture 485 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.

Smart.

shadow's picture 485 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!

Simple ideas are the best !

hilazon's picture 150 pencils

nice visual approach

miko1aj's picture 2712 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.

Dont like it!

matks's picture 476 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 253 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?
