Cool... I'm not sure everyone will understand it right away.

It took me at least 20 seconds.

Would it be better if all the colors besides red were filled in already? Because the belt is black. What does blood have to do with black?

You're right. Same with Santa's flesh tones. Nevertheless, this idea has been done many times over. No point tweaking it. It's just like polishing turd.

took me a minute, too... i think it's mad cute, though... even though the illustrations could be a wee bit more professional (like how santa's boots criss-cross one another and his belt doesn't quite match up with his jacket and stuff)... not breathtaking or really well done, but cute...

Okay. Blood is red. I'm pretty sure I already knew that.

Sorry, this campaign needs an 'infusion' of concept.

Maybe only part of it should be filled in to show that it is running low.

Not having the colour 'red' in something isn't an idea. There are some great campaigns on this site, but many are below junior level.

This idea's already been done... as print and ambient. come on guys we can do better than this. this is one area where recycling is bad.

regardless of the concept that illustration is terrible, i can't believe they couldn't perfect a vector line drawing

Seen one where the visual is a half painted Red Cross Logo in One Show.

Hey Guest

If people submit their work looking for opinions they should expect to hear opinions. Including negative opinions.

I get the point completely. I have appreciation for any ad that speaks without copy and does it without hyperbole or stuffy artfulness
Fine work.

Seen it done in Panama, and better. Specifically this one (the Santa one).
