lol... i frequently don't understand the italian ads...
maybe its a cultural thing, isnt it? or they just doesnt makes any sense?
Wtf?

@elgrecones, sometimes thinking out of the box is very much relevant here in old comfy Italy, otherwise people don't get really interested/involved in creativity and even brilliant ads can fail... according to me this is very true at least for niche products, like non-luxury quality shades
interesting insight and creative route!!!
its great!!!

what's not to get? this ad is engaging. when you see this in the newspaper the chances are high that you will draw the glasses yourself. i just don't know what are the chances the guy will look anything like Lennon after that...
could've been a black and white photo. and the clothes are not what JL would wear.
I agree, you're right.
amen to that...
idea here is: without glasses you become anyone. Lennon was recognized by her sun glasses, and glasses identify you !
If you need any explanation just let me know, and I can explain you...
Ey, I´d rather be this guy than John BORING Lennon, dudes.
You should have chosen a duller person. This dude is way to charismatic.
Nice though.
Clap. Clap. Where's the rest? Work on that tag if you can.
Do you mean like:"The Blues Brothers. Without their sunglasses", "Stevie Wonder. Without his sunglasses", " Bono Vox. Without his sunglasses."?
Yeah this idea has legs. I'm wondering if they really are the actors or people who look like them somewhat? And I would think long and hard about who you feature. Don't think I'd go down the road of a blind guy. And I've seen the blues bros without shades. Drew Carey (may not be famous enough) but you always see him with glasses. I can't tell if this is really Lennon at all. That's what makes me like it more. Again think the tag can be stronger.
This ad is too easy to get. You don't need to say it as well as show it..
you might be right. It may be enough to say John Lennon. And pay it off with a strong tag for a sunglass place.
The idea is not bad and we understand even if the concept is old ...
Finalization is very bad. I hope it is a sketch. But next time, the sketch, keep in the drawer and show the final.
Shud hav paid some attention to dress code. Cud have been sumthin retro...like a checked shirt or a polo neck...nevertheless, great ad :) way to go!
Good one...Love it totally!
For many their sunglasses are their identity or an integral part of their personality...
The idea is very good. Details were discussed.
Poor art direction.
The idea is good, not the final art.
But, Who cares?
This one's very lame. John Lennon was recognized by his rounded glasses, not sunglasses. Besides that, he started wearing them after many years.
