Great ads, it's been done before with animals ( http://coloribus.com/admirror/?action=detailedView&item=504&language=en ) but I haven't seen it done this way before.

i hope they're actually wearing a condom themselves??!! ooo, major safe sex issues here! hmmm, these are visually good, and creative, but i don't quite know if there's a great message here.

Not original but nice art direction.

flobba's picture 14 pencils

beautiful art direction, but the idea........... The most important thing is efficiency and that case: that's what people want to see, funny things.

proverbialthought's picture 300 pencils

Seriously, nobody thinks these ads are over the top? I mean seriously. The color combinations in all of these are wonderful, and the art direction is awesome. But the ads themself are WAAAAAAAY over the top.

Spider's picture 212 pencils

it is well done but not a great idea like a lot of people said. It is not even original. It was done before using animals and if you look around you will find a lot of the same. Okay about the art direction. Nice mix of colours and nice balance/composition with the packshot and the white background but that it is all guys.

snagesh75's picture 60 pencils

Great execution but gives me wrong message of HOMOSEXUALITY! Otherwise....its quite refresing stuff!

Toro's picture 1021 pencils

What's wrong with that? Maybe it's just as important to send out a message of safe sex that appeals to gay people as well.

thetruth's picture

Actually, the more I see this rubbish the more it bugs me. It just smacks of that niavely smug creative that seems to come out of Singapore so often.

Billy Hill's picture

I can't agree with the common sentiment on the art direction. The other examples have a more authentic feel which adds to their cleverness. This is just too candy clean. Too Pixar. Too gay.

Blessilda Mok's picture 119 pencils

Very bad execution and the idea go straight to the 'has been done to death' category.

Toro's picture 1021 pencils

And why is the execution so bad according to you?

jaymachani6's picture 10 pencils

Good work, Great

I don´t see why people love so much these ads. It's nothing impressive, it doesn´t tell a story, the art direction is really good but that's all..

athi510's picture 65 pencils

nice catchy colors. Hello Graphics!

Lobna's picture 52 pencils

these ads are more "educational or informative" than anything else. they are just suggesting the infinite positions u can still enjoy if protection used. it also tells me that if i buy the box i might find some concrete mini-catalogue of positions, which is exciting :P

there will never be anything old about a sex position, especially if the execution or the presentation of the characters is NEW.
