Like the art direction a lot. Have to admit I'm a little put off by the blood in the snow and the use of the whale in the other execution, though. Not sure all BBQ enthusiasts are necessarily hunting enthusiasts as well.
these are REALLY terrible. i don't get what's going on, why I should care, or what the hell it has to do with charcoal.
boo.
Really impressive for a student work.
Loved this elephant. ;)
funny and good art direction

I cant belive what i am reading... this art direction sucks utterly! In terms of art, the Whale one was by far the best. This is sooooo bad...
As for the idea, it still sucks. I can still not see a single bottle og tequila, og any form of entertainment involving hot underdressed college students trying to pay for their education. So where is the party?
Really awful, i doesn´t make any sense and the art really sucks
Haha...love it!
Thought I'd be the only one to comment about the art, that mammoth just looks wrong and the link with the charcoal, parties and above scenario makes a little sense, but is not strong enough, creative work strives to solve problems, this bit of creative blight here, is a problem...
Add insult to injury then burn the candle at both ends.
:: Put your ears against the ground so i can walk over what you heard::
Ok, about the collage: the fur could have used more fur brushes and a better selection work, using linear burn (since the background is white). And most important: You shouldn't paste a image (ie. mammoth) without using some blur in its borders. Unless you want an effect like a sticker or something. That's because eyes or cameras cannot focus at the same time in 2 objects (ie. mammoth and snow ground) that are distant from each other, so even focusing on the background or the front object you need to use the blur tool. Just a little bit at the borders of the mammoth, and that's the way to go.
ps: I would instantly hate this brand, because of this ad. Watching mammoths getting killed brings to my mind the sad story in Ice Age, where Manny remember his dead parents, hunted by men. In fact, even eating lots of meat, I'm hypocrite just like most people (your target: bbq charcoal buying people) and don't like watching animals getting killed at all. Specially in advertising.
brilliant!!
kudos mate!! keep the good work!!
Took me a bit, but when I got it I liked it.
You have to hate advertising in order to truly love it.
Moronic..
