Too literal. sorry guys.

Guest's picture

Sorry to ask this, I mean, you must be an expert, but... so what if it´s literal? Is it really a reason to diminish the effectiveness or quality of an ad? Wouldn´t it be a strength in some cases (such like this)?

Why 3 ads to sell a pen?
How many pens do they have to sell to pay for this production?

L'idea sarebbe che siccome è una penna disegna la luce..

So literal.

the only literal thing here is the word 'design' in the headline. some of you guys really seem to have no idea what you are talking about.

the idea is "the light you need, when you need a light" and it's great. cheers

This is a GREAT campaign. And it's very well executed.
Agree with Wordnerd 100%. Kudos, DDB Milan.

Doing great work is hard, criticize others is way easier.
