Davosk's picture 4853 pencils

The only thing spoiling this is the obvious cloning of the windows and markings on the wall around them. Really, an extra 10 minutes of photoshop work and this would be very good.

ag! please man! no one look at such detail...

Davosk's picture 4853 pencils

Are you serious, on this site people are looking with a microscope, especially art directors. I quite like the ad though.

theanc's picture 2697 pencils

They're all looking for a problem. But the major problem is: it's not their ad.

This is a great ad, and you're right i wish it was my great ad.
unfortunately it looks amateurish because of the obvious copy/paste efforts of the art director.

the idea is great though

Andy-B's picture 280 pencils

sneakyhands's picture 1871 pencils

The obvious cloning aside, it's a pretty decent ad. Good work.

stitchy's picture 721 pencils

lovely

omareduardo777's picture 29 pencils

Davosk is so right, if the smoke is thaat good, why just cloning the wall? (stamp tool, know it? jjaja (kidding) good ad.

keddy's picture 136 pencils

Err....am I the only one who didn't understand this ad?

picopalqlea's picture 983 pencils

i didnt get it!!

virtualplaydoh's picture 249 pencils

DOn't think it's that hard to get when you blow it up and read the copy. It's for a range hood that takes in smoke. Don't know how many people seriously buy these things that you need to advertise for it. But i think it's an interesting execution if you do.

sneakyhands's picture 1871 pencils

i got it, it was just dumb.

C1's picture 2 pencils

Great idea. Execution could have been a little tighter (the cloning of the wall etc), but overall very good for a not so exciting product. Well Done.

virtualplaydoh's picture 249 pencils

that's a nice. How do you make this a campaign?

Psycho Pirate's picture 55 pencils

Just a note. I found out the hard way that sometimes, details like the ones pointed out by earlier comments here can make all the difference to award juries.

Idea and execution can be betrayed by sloppy work. Things that might not be obvious at first glance, will be glaringly obvious once it's on a wall next to thousands of other, better crafted entries.

It might be a nice ad, striking and clear. It can definitely get consumers' attentions.
Now to take it to the next level, it might be worth sitting down and addressing the comments mentioned here and maybe trying to run the ad again.

A couple of extra hours on Photoshop might do wonders.

AD Kevin's picture 4 pencils

Great idea. Art work, Simple idea! good job. Wow~

gbl's picture 431 pencils

love the idea. could have a better execution.

zzell's picture 9 pencils

wow. good visual direction~

good job man-

Hi. Nice to meet you.

rajjainindore's picture 14 pencils

d idea is gud..but d ad doesnt giv direct hint of it....and ultimately fails coz of weak execution..

dthlb72's picture 508 pencils

What more do you expect... this is not diamond ad. No need deep thinking.
simple & nice good already.

Javier Ramírez's picture 1236 pencils

Creo que es una manera visual simple, pero que cumple con comunicar el beneficio principal del producto: potencia.

the art work its nice

wasuntitled's picture 30 pencils

All I have to say is Its a brilliant Idea but if the art director could spend some time on Photoshop it would have been brilliant too.

godma's picture 6 pencils

well i like d feel of the ad, but i don't know if d window that sucks in the smoke is the product or is it inside that particular flat. people, where's the product?

act's picture 535 pencils

wow that's one reason i should get this product and it's also what i have been waiting for since moving into the apartment, help my neighbor suck in the fire smoke.

act's picture 535 pencils

anyway how about this as a campaign with different products?

firstly you have the blind cat in the kitchen with the fish bowl, it was so blind it knocks off something that causes the fire. now you have this ad. can we help ogilvy and mather here to come up with a 3rd installment?

slip's picture 925 pencils

Duplication makes me sick. Love :) the ad!
