Classic advertising imitating art. Should have left William Hundley alone http://www.williamhundley.com/photographs/entoptic2.html
William Hundley himself is the photographer of this campaign. Check the credit (just to the right of the picture, if you didn't notice) before you accuse them of imitation or copying.

Casper forgot to cut the eye holes, wouldn't be surprised if he flew into the wall.

Personally I think Hundley should get CD and AD credits as well, I'm getting sick of ad people just taking something they see while trolling the internet looking for ideas to steal, slapping a logo and a pithy line on it and claiming it their own idea. The term borrowed interest has never been tossed around so much as it has lately.
Totally agree. Full credit should go to the artist. Maybe we can have a whole new credit added to the credits: Art Spotter. This isn't the first time an artist's work has been slapped onto a page, as you mentioned.
Totally disagree, do you kids even have jobs in advertising yet? it's the CD and AD's vision that makes an Ad campaign not the Artist. I commend the creative team for showcasing a talent like this, otherwise talent like this goes unseen.
Totally disagree with your disagreement. This is the worst example of 'take something that looks great and stick a logo on it' since PS2 used Tim Hope's 'The Wolfman'. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbOjxU6OpoM)
The CD and the AD have simply found a photographer with an exhibition of work featuring clothes floating about in the breeze American Beauty style, and stamped a swoosh on it. It's not copied, because the photographer has been given credit, it's just...
...well, lazy. What work have they actually done, really? You tell me.
light weight creatives...
Wow, you guys are morons. The purpose of advertising is not soley to be creative. If thats your goal, be an artist. Advertising is meant to connect an audience with a product/service/message, etc. The goal is to use the best means possible to do that. If that means doing something that is not deemed "original" who cares.
This dude is totally stealing your next good idea.
I do not understand what it said
...and you look like a ridiculous balloon person when you wear it?
