don't we all use a pen to sign something? IMHO.

shouldn't we all be a little less narrow minded?

sparky's picture 458 pencils

looks nice

beautiful art direction; but the concept remains that Amnesty's signature campaign.

It's pretty easy to take an existing design work and just place a message below it and name it as a work from ogilvy. Please take a look at Jennifers page (http://www.jennifermaestre.com/index.php) and find exact the same pictures just without a greenpeace message... I think there wasn't even needed a photographer at ogilvy to create the ads...pfff.......

Finamerican's picture 49 pencils

To be fair, how often do digital artists, or other "wrists" get credit?

sthammar's picture 9 pencils

Jennifer is credited as Art Director.

"benebene"
What do you mean by Easy to take ? Have you ever tought that she created this artpeace at the beginning for this project ?

Stop nagging and whining before you have all the facts please.

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

oh, you're right - my mistake.

Andy-B's picture 280 pencils

I agree with you Sthammar.
Or it might happen that Jennifer created those art pieces, so she can sell them! or sell their stock images...

How_Addy's picture 66 pencils

wow, they weren't kidding about the high illiteracy rates in the world.

David Hasselblad's picture 120 pencils

Shameful.

Colored pencil or pen, the core idea is there. Splendid art direction. Were these digitally done or constructed by hand?

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

ask the artist who did it. benebene's comment above

luisrivera11's picture 471 pencils

Wow, art direction excellent

marillo's picture 10 pencils

im very confused about this, to make wood pencils you need trees... so we destroy trees to make a campaign to save seas? good art direction but ogilvy should think a lil bit more.
Sorry for my english. im a rookie writing.

Andy-B's picture 280 pencils

Trees don't breath..
You only think about the negative!

Boris's picture 100 pencils

Hahahahahaha, loved the capy writer comment. Agree with you, some people don't have ideas as half as good as this, that's why they want to ruin them some how. Awsome campaign.

ace85le's picture 3901 pencils

Come on. If they have already bought the images, they have the rights to use it. If the artist sold them on some image stock, it would be quite unreasonable to ask Ogilvy to put her name on the credit line. These stuff happen all day everyday.

What are you all nagging about ?
The Artist is Credited as ART DIRECTOR

benebene's picture 12 pencils

Sorry, didn't recognize Jen in the credits. But anyway I agree Ace Le's statement that thievery in advertising happens every day (even if you don't declare it as thievery) but it's one thing if you buy an artwork, use and rearrange it, create something new with it or if you're just doing nothing instead of picking an existing incredible work like these pencil sculptures and just putting a really low message below it.

But damn it...why I'm so upset...the more funny thing is that ogilvy needs four people just to put the message below the sculpture :-) ...awsome!!

kergu's picture 6580 pencils
