Funny, but Christian environmentalists (if they exist) will hate the tagline.

OhDear's picture 8 pencils

But, why the assembly instruction?
abit to obvious in my taste.

Love the copy!

Yeah, that will happen : /

rocketman's picture 391 pencils

i like the idea of the ark assembly instructions, but the copy sort of kills it for me.
was it necesary to mention the biblical proportions of the disaster?
the word ark by itself gives me that.
what do you people think?

ming the merciless's picture 190 pencils

Totally agree. Stupid over-explanetry line ruins a nice simple idea.

Global warming ads + instructions art direction = seen before

Doing great work is hard, criticize others is way easier.

me myself and irene's picture 1256 pencils

darkside, sorry but as i see it you're talking about resources, not concepts... of course we've seen instructions arts, and oh yes we've seen global warming ads (lots of them); the joke is how to combine the "old" elements to form something new, isn't it?

personally i don't find these very convincing, or powerful. agree with rocket about the copy, too redundant (the visual is already telling the message, no need to reapeat it in the copy, it overkills the idea).

besides if it make us smile or laugh maybe it's wrong... we're talking about a big problem here that needs action inmediately, not sure if this ad would have such an impact on people.

I must agree. Beware of people remembering only the punchline and not the product/cause - to misquote some famous ad guy: "You don't want people to say "wow - what a great ad' but 'wow - what a great product."

I think this one's kind of dull. Too obvious, too clever, little substance.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

Like your thinking.

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

tantrik_indian's picture 798 pencils

The biblical flood is a myth - not history. Get your facts politically correct :P. Boring ad.

unaquestionediali's picture 473 pencils

Agree with tantrik, it was not history.
