i like the idea behind it, but i think it fell on the execution. a little more love and care could've made a huge difference.

Una pieza que se está convirtiendo en un clásico.
En mi opinión, es un muy buen aviso, pero la comunidad publicitaria lo está mitificando por estar relacionado directamente con su día a día.
A mi la verdad, me genera, en el fondo, un poco de rechazo. Quizás sea porque encuentro una contradicción: jamás podrás hacer un buen montaje a mano. Photoshop es lo que es precisamente porque te permite hacer en minutos lo que alguna vez tomaba horas.

¿Para que me sirve Photoshop real?
Lo que quiero que se vea real son los diseños que con él haga, no el programa en si.
No sé. Creo que hay algo que no termina de cerrar.

me parece que no entiendes el aviso y tu extenso resumen del mismo habla de lo poco que sabes de él.
as real as it gets, excelente forma de bajarlo.

Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.

Bam. Not too sure if you'd get it if not familiar with the photohsop interface.

Has everyone seen this right?;

I'm sure you all have (it's got nearly 4 million views on youtube) but if not, you must.

If you're not too familia with the Photoshop interface, I sincerely doubt you would fall into the target audience.

- Commenting in all caps with poor spelling and grammar is so done before -

- The only thing more rare than a good ad is a good guest comment -

Terrible ad. It makes me wonder if everybody who has commented knows anything at all about advertising.

This isn't an ad for Photoshop. It's an ad for an online store that just happens to sell Photoshop along with other software. Did anyone even notice that? Did anyone remember the URL? Did anyone even notice the URL? Also, it gives me absolutely no reason to buy Photoshop on that website.

If you like the visual, compliment the visual. But I would disagree with anyone who thinks that this is anything but a completely ineffective ad.

This is not the best ad, but this is not that bad. Hey why every muppet who says bad thing about an ad is not registered user?

You bring up a great point. The URL is so small that I overlooked it and thought this was for Adobe CS4. This would be really cool if Adobe was their client but it just looks like they wish Adobe was their client instead of actually telling us about the real client.

for my logic i think you don't know how does advertising works. this should be the agency version of the ad. and maybe, they created the concept and the ad first and then found the client. i remark, maybe.

Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.

the art direction reflects the url. all that matters is that people are able to remember the ad when the name of the website is mentioned.

the name has an "ASLI" n reflecting it using REAListic stuffs.. how ineffective can it be?

the art direction is excellent and also it memorable, the name software asli it will always remembered when you will talk about original softwares.

so its very target oriented.

'cause not everyone is capable using those wide range of real tools?

great art direction. Asli in this case is original.(software-asli=Original-software) To me the concept works well considering the target market is us. And most of us here liked it. So how can you say it's not working???
Ivan, you should implement only registered user gets to comment. Fair to all of us.
