sorry but its an old idea and done for so many times
hey you dumb guest commenter. it is "photoshop disaster" not "photoshop desaster". if you're going to trash some work make sure you use the correct words.
Took me forever and the payoff wasn't worth it.
not great
You know what no need no packshot... put the pen plus the line handwrittened on the paper.
Might give a little boost to the overall art direction.
Otherwise it "ok".
Agree with Monicamexico.
You could also title it 'speedbumps' and it'd be easier to get.
funny....liked it.

this is to leave comments on the creative not on the ppl! so get professional guys!
Lame benefit, lame idea, lame art direction.
Simple.... great
rubbish
hmmm gr8 idea or simple, it did spark up some ulcers I guess :P
Nobody has a data bank of all the freakin' ideas created in the world! Many a times we come up with a brilliant idea, produce it, release it and then figure out that it's been done sometime back. But that doesn't make any of us thieves. It's just that some brands are similar when it comes to brand promises/USPs. They are invariably end up being linked to a common thought-stream. Blame the manufacturer for that ;) Like for instance, super fast writing will lead to this idea. Maybe they stopped here, maybe if they had worked their grey cells a lil' more they would have landed on sumthin' "original". Maybe euphoria took over after they came upon this idea, maybe all of you great advertising "gurus" should stop behaving cheap by being abusive and immature by taking names and just let them be. You've made your point, they have got it. Atleast we should let them be for coming up with a newer way of executing it. Let's give them some credit for the idea and move on.
PS: Ivan anymore abusive remarks, you need to take a call. I understand good critics is allowed, but not taking names, spilling out "advertising" frustration by being abusive. I hope this site is not turning out to be another space like "hi5/orkut/facebook/myspace" for leaving comments. Pls do the needful. Thanks. - Raghu, Mumbai.
^^ Yes, with fast writing, you would definitely need speedbumps... maybe a little bit more, but ah well, better need some improvement!
when i got it, I liked it.
But I didn't get it fast.
i didn;t get it :(
