I love this one type of illustrations so detailed, the idea already is possibly old, but in fact it is very good work.

Not sold on the 'when they least expect it' strategy...
but I love the idea.

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

A goood product feature and creative solution.

panasit's picture 687 pencils

Obviously this is a great campaign, but I think this is the weaker one of the set.
I like the spider one more because I think spider is more threatening.

But ant? And this one is in its home not bothering anyone. I sympathize with the ant.

good working

andrej dwin's picture 963 pencils

very very good.
more proof we're living in a visual world and superb art direction gets you always farther (not to say the idea is bad, but it ain't that great by itself. the AD helps a lot)

BOOBJOB LOOBCANNON's picture 1866 pencils

Yeah it won gold at an awards ceremony - IN THE 80'S!

Who cares what happened 25 years ago?

Its shit by today's standards.

We're going to need more lube.

Baba's picture

Good ideas and bad ideas doesn't change, no matter the time. For example you we're probably an ass hole back in the 80's and today you're still an ass hole.

BOOBJOB LOOBCANNON's picture 1866 pencils

YES! I AM! Well done for pointing out that I'm an asshole, I wasn't really old enough to have developed into a fully fledged asshole in the '80's but, yes, the potential was there, well done! You're a genius!

But things do change, people are less easily convinced by an ad, and constructs like these have less impact 'cos they get copied or people use the same formula over and over again.

We're going to need more lube.

Guest's picture
