it'd be better if they changed the number four and not number eight-
meaning: not 48 -> 42 but 82 -> 22 (for example)

Dzsoi's picture 3562 pencils

Now that would be an over-promise :)

Kateter's picture 1816 pencils

probably. but wasn't there a campaign a couple of years ago for Olay with number 61 in the middle of the ad but when you turned the page around it was 19?
so my suggestion would make it more consistent ;-)

biabitch's picture 304 pencils

i like it.

graphikamaal's picture 73 pencils

Just liked the 33/38 one, others are just ok, specially because of inconsistency in fonts.

If the concept "correct your age" was a given by the brand then this is perfect, but the problem is the concept itself. The focus is all wrong, the concept should be supportive. Someone has a lot to learn from Dove PRO - Age concept. It's not about hiding who you are, or "correcting" something you can't change, it's about being comfortable with yourself and feeling the best you can in your own skin. Consumers want to feel understood, they want to relate to a brand as a friend, not be chastised by it.
