Very nice. At first I thought it was a mannequin with goop being poured on.
Sorta startled me to see the girl. I love it.

But what is it that the organization does exactly and for whom? Very vague.

Don't like it.
Very creative, but very very far from the personality and the image of "san patrignano".

Nolan's picture 189 pencils

Bravi!

I really envy this ad.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

The ad is really flattered, Karen... but thinks it best if you saw other people.

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

Saltsea's picture 321 pencils

Too literal. Very young. Basic. Don't like it at all.

bara bara baez's picture 148 pencils

I has a dream I made this ad.

JMARQ's picture 2 pencils

Wow, what amazing work!

Oh wait a sec!

....this has been all over other magazines and photo annuals like PDN, Communication Arts, etc.
It's an American photographer by the name of David Field.

These guys lose at ethics hah (At least it's pro-Bono I imagine?)

The production is great though...would have been nice to see some talent on the creative's part. I'm sure he could have spoofed up the concept...oh well.

rocketman's picture 391 pencils

Do you really think it's unethical to use an artistic resource created by someone else and apply it to advertising?
I'm not so sure. After all, the photographer just came up with the visual effect, it's the creatives who found a conceptual application for that visual effect. As long as no other ad is using the same visual with the same communication purpose, i think it's ok.

rituls_2007's picture 45 pencils

very nice.

pranavhariharsharma's picture 47 pencils

I wish karen hopia bokya would have done this.

Creative director: Raffaele Balducci
Art director: Edwin Herrera, Sara Lucchetta
Copywriter: Andrea Bomentre
Photographer: Davide Bodini
Post Production: Roberto Marchesi

changezi's picture 22 pencils

changezi
it seems to be favourit with every body here but did any body really understand as to wat "sanpatrignano" does. the visual is undoubtedly stunning but it's not saying about the company clearly and also the cream or watsoever it is looks quite ugly pouring down her face

I feel bad for David Field. They absolutely ripped him off, and he should be paid at least an artist's reference fee. David is a young guy, right out of school with a lot of talent. Better yet, they should have hired David to do the job. Clearly plagiarism.

ispeak's picture 92 pencils

Amazing art job. Simply flawless. we shouldnt even think of criticising this. Its sin if we do. Although in terms of actual communication I would imagine this to be absolutely bang on for a plastic / cosmetic reconstruction for the poor and deprived. A social cause for burnt victims.

GR8 Job.

primo_susto's picture 462 pencils

JUST AMAZING WORK!

elmikel's picture 1153 pencils

Beautiful! This amazing work deserves more than just be a part of an ad that some people are not able to appreciate...

dawudi's picture 2 pencils

this is a direct rip-off of David Field. His "Pleasures of the Flesh" series was published in Communication Arts, PDN, and the Cover of Eyemazing magazine long before this campaign was released

Let us give credit where credit is due. This concept was originated by David Field, a photographer in New York. His photos, of which this is a blatant knock-off, have been published in several photography journals prior to the development of this ad. This agency does not deserve kudos for the lack of integrity in its work.

Corbeen's picture 342 pencils

I agree. Stolen work.

vekneal's picture 3 pencils

www.thephotofield.com. Ironic this piece is about identity theft; it’s such a rip off to David Fields photography. This concept has been published in two major art magazines around the world. A good Art Director would have known this, and should have stopped this from ever being made to avoid humiliation. I don’t know if anyone else has but I’ve included a link to David Fields photography since he was the driving force that inspired this. Hopefully Ads of the World will start to showcase the source and not the knock-offs.
