Charlie Pratt's picture 427 pencils

Can't begin to imagine how many people are going to comment "Done!" but I DIG THESE. That's right, I'm stepping out there. I dig these a lot.

Agree...

Design with no knowledge about printing, it's not design!

seriously guys, PLEASE STOP DOING THIS!

This is becoming kind of vicious.

Yes the visual is done.
BUT they could have done with a twist of originality.
IF the text made sense after the censors, THEN the ad would be at least a little original.
They were lazy and left the ad just to be a visual gimmick.

I think the visual is spot on and not just a gimmick.

Texts that don't make sense is what you get after censorship.

Even though this campaign is not really original, it is solid.

Steviec's picture 126 pencils

Done so much better by Luxor. http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/luxor_highlighters_hitler What makes the highlighter ones so much better is that the highlighted text also reads as copy by itself - brilliant. These = lame copies.

Toro's picture 1021 pencils

I disagree.
Yes, the highlighter ads are brilliantly crafted but how do Hitler and highlighters connect?

The story in this ad is already about Hitler so what purpose does the highlighting serve? To create his portrait? That makes it just a visual gag that doesn't connect with the brand. Therefor it could have been a story about a parrot, or a monkey, and have conveyed the same message. Since parrots aren't that interesting to talk about a more shocking image has been used to attract the attention of the consumer.

Calibarak's picture 302 pencils

Ah, duh, too much blah, blah.

R. Rinaldi's picture 686 pencils

This ad looks like done by big fish scammers.

sbanua's picture 16 pencils

is it REAL NEWS? Think again... http://NewsQuote.blogspot.com

Disco Munky's picture 3839 pencils

The style used for the visual does not tackle the brief properly. They should be looking at edditing type to say something different, as it stands it's only saying that the art director can use a black marker.

Clarity of speech and soundness of thought. These are the things you need to convey an idea.

This has neither.

Doin' it for the points

LeBigelow's picture 23 pencils

I haven't seen this that often to be honest. I like the ads. They make sense to me. I've seen the ones for the highlighters, but these I like better for their message.
