I think it communicates well. The layout works for me and the copy.

Keep Walking...

The art direction is nice, but the concept is a little weak I guess

It's funny how complex the logo is for a company named simplified.

Is this DM? could you cut off the panel and return it for discounts or whatever?

That would make this slightly better.

bastards copied the idea from a student who posted his online folio link in the exhibition section.

here's the link: http://www.fernandopace.com/

check out the 1st ad on the left (Microsoft wireless mouse)

A person who has not even found roots in the advtg business yet, shouldnt really be using such strong words
against any agency .. should he? And anyway the ad you claim to be the original one is quite diferent than the one posted here.
I guess most people like Chintan simply post comments like such, to create a stir rather than indulge in healthy criticism.

okay, i rest my case. maybe I shouldn't have used that kind of language.

Thanks for reminding me. I just got agitated because the idea is very similar and its very frustrating to see student ideas getting picked up like that.

It's happened to me 2-3 times and it feels pathetic...because by slyly lifting ideas from the exhibition forum, our 'seniors' set a bad example for us to begin with.

one more thing...i never want to create any kind of stir. i got better things to do. the guy who's blog its picked up from, isn't even related to me in any way!

It sounds like he called it like he saw it. You don't need roots in the "advtg" (seriously?) business to speak your mind.

The idea looks pretty similar. Not saying anyone copied but it looks like they might have copied.

fragile81 maybe needs to pipe down and get some relax juice.

boring. really boring. plus the fact that this kind of concept has been done to death. Ikea did this concept yers ago

ideas....30 minutes nahi toh free.

I liked it

It kinda grows into you, this ad. I actually can feel my brain in a knot.
