Don't understand. Where's the connection between life and an Eastpak bag. CRAP! (Happy?!)...
Thanks! That's an acceptable comment. :)
My interpretation is that you can hide in the backpack. Wait.... that's probably not it. Any takers?
I'd say the dog smelled drugs on the bag owner (in this case the reader since it is somehow in first person view) and the cops made him/you open the bag to search... pretty negative take I guess. Very strange Ad.

i dont see the "tougher" standing out ....... agree with Ivan it feels that the guy is hiding inside his backpack
The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time
OK, let me see if I can help you:)
Look at the ad, and then only read what's in the ad, not the additional info which is like the advertising idea. I mean, the "life's tough" thing is clearly there if you want to see it. This is a 30-years guaranteed bag, that means it will outlast some of the tough things life (the urban one, especially) throws back at you. Which makes it pretty much the safest haven a young fellow can think of when chased by the graffiti police (hihi) or caught in a young lady's bedroom by her tattooed bad-ass-still-kicking father. See?
Ivan, you kinda got it in the first place, you should trust your senses:)
Cheers everyone.
PS @50, my friend, next time you say CRAP about anything, drop me a line to your portfolio. This used to be a serious arena, so let's keep it that way. Thank you.
Actually this really is confusing. The visual appears to be saying that the bag is a good place to hide, not that the bag is tough.
And having an opinion on this site doesn't make you obligated to put up your work.
I understand your approach. There's an insight there. But IMHO, your explanation doesn't help me to understand this ad. The ad description of "Life's tough. But Eastpak's tougher." is the light, but it can't be found anywhere in the ads, therefore it is very hard to understand if you're only given the ads themselves. "Safe inside" is a preposition, but for who? what you store inside is not yourself, therefore it can't protect you (the dog will get you anyway - not a very compelling preposition for me) And furthermore, trying to defend your work is a good thing. but again, a good ad campaign should be able to defend itself. and I think somebody saying "crap" is alright if that's their honest expression, I mean we are not in a hospitality business, a lot of people had said crap to my ideas, and I do appreciate it. It is better than any bias-sugar-coating words.
Agree w/picktokyo. Good comment.
isn't this the same idea as the hard travel luggage that showed a visual of street violence from inside the case? You're safe in here idea? The only difference is the original was gritty realistic photography and this is so-so illustration. And the fact the whole idea works better for hard rather than soft luggage?
For one last time:)
The line is "Safe inside. With 30 years warranty."
I am not defending it, just making sure this comes across as it should.
don't listen to them plastillina, I like!! Thumbs up on execution, well done
I agree that this is a nice artsy-execution
Here's my take on the ads - the product is a zip. The "person" is caught in situations with his zip open, which is why life is tough... The zip has a 30 year warranty. They promise that the 'family jewels' will be "safe inside".
Did I get it right? Ha ha ha.
~~this paranoid survived!~~
Execution nice. Concept weak. Is that a SNIFFER dog? Can EASTPAK prevent the odor of high-grade White Widow cannabis from escaping? WTF?
Good illustration but i'm not sure the concept works
