Very very dull.

You shmucks are easily amused.

We're going to need more lube.

How many times???

This is a first-thought execution for a sore throat remedy. Sadly, it seems to be a lot of people's first thought for a product like this. And the retouching is purely awful. I've seen better work from first year students. Those "olives" look like they're floating.

Not good at all.

Why are you and so many other people so anal about retouching?

It doesn't matter, it looks fine.

No-one is going to spend more than 20 secs looking it anyway, apart form Mac monkeys.

We're going to need more lube.

Yeah, you know. Pixel Pushers.

We're going to need more lube.

I think he meant Mac savvy people.
What is wrong with these retouching? It's good enough.

why are so many people anal about retouching? because a good idea can be killed with a bad execution! because you cannot rely solely on the idea and get lazy when it comes to doing the artwork. and because it just has to look good man.
and the people who notice this are not exactly "mac monkeys" or "pixel pushers" as you and others call it... you just need eyes.

and by the way, i don't see anything wrong with the retouching on this one.

someones thong is sitting too tight.

the idea is basic but fine and so is the retouching.

retouching... as if that mattered.

Japanese have done this so many times in the ninetees... Have a Glance on your Luerzers Archives...
I gave 1, because we can't give Zero.

nemesis's picture 743 pencils

cool... although the copy is bland and maybe unnecesary.

Great campaign, too bad this has been done several times before.

I get it!
Swallowing hurts, and we show this through broken glass as food!
Because you can't swallow glass, right?

I GET IT!

finbar01's picture 14 pencils

Right you get it. Got it. What do you want, a badge?
I think it's a really effective piece of communication. I think saying things like it's been done before in the 80's or whenever is a stupid thing to say. I think you're forgetting one crucial thing. We do this to sell. Selling to normal people. Normal people who don't know that this was done before
That's just my opinion anyways people.

Copy_Can's picture

I GET A BADGE!

nemesis's picture 743 pencils

the fact that the people don't know it has been done before doesn't mean you're gonna do something that's not original... if the "ordinary people" seeing it haven't seen it before, is irrelevant.

Using your logic, you'd take an ad from the 60's, spin it around and sell it to a new group of people years down the line?

"Sure Lemon is a popular ad, but the youth we're targeting haven't seen the ad - ever. Run it, then, let's go grab a coffee."

Glad I don't work with you, nemesis.

This just sucks. And I don't care to elaborate why.

And anyone who doesn't see a need for good retouching can continue enjoying life in 20 second intervals.

This ad reminds me of the time when my work got shot down by a Jr. Account Exec. fresh out of college. I had to swallow it and go back to the drawing table and it hurt like a motherfucker. But you know what, she was absolutely RIGHT! (Of course I didn't tell her that.) I'm still living it down to this day.

Incidentally, it had the smooth texture and razor-sharp edges of glass, swallowing your pride...
