Great ideia!!

At first, I thought it was going to be some kind of ad for a fishing line or a fishing-something, which got a chuckle out of me.

The headline isn't really adding anything. It seems like a strange placement for it as well.

If the dead fish actually matched up with the names, this would be fantastic.

I like but now let me bitch.

1) Reminds me a little of that Baygon ad that, if I remember correctly, helped inspired the set up of this website.

2) 'Help us to avoid this.'

Terrible line.

Agreed. Not a very 'surf rider' sentiment at all.

I liked it. But Ihave to agree with you.
And in the end it's not a "oh my God, how could they come up with this?" idea.
It's good and it's right there. But not that creative in terms of approach.

“If the dead fish actually matched up with the names, this would be fantastic”

As if the concept actually hinged on the accurateness of obscure fish names.

Listen Jacque Cousteau, you either know way too much about latin fish names or you’re pretensious as hell. Something tells me its the latter. You don’t have anything nearly this good in your book.

Eric Yeo had done something similar for Baygon: Insect of the World.
A little too late guys.

Much better than mine.

LOVE IT! the concept anyway. i wish the art director could have pushed it. oh, and find a new copywriter. you're way too talented to be with him/her. ouch. sorry, just saying it like it is.

Didier Mwonlo's picture

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!!!!

Why reduce the work of copywriter to the line? It's only a call-to-action. He must be part of the idea too, right?

There's only art directors in here?

jordan baker's picture

Love the ad!... and i see you´ve chosen a great name of the illustration world to do the job, right? couldnt be other.. congrats, guys!

picktokyo's picture 1410 pencils

anyway... lame line.

Guest commenter's picture

how many times have we seen this?

and if i was a surfer, i'd want less fish in the water.

Guest's picture

If you're a human, you'll won't.

By the way: you're a human?

Guest commenter's picture

very innovative, also simple and effective. If each fish was named with a species tag nearby the ad would lose its sense of fish tank tragedy I think, as the bunch of mixed up dead floaters has the best impact. Copy could definitely be improved but I can diiiiiiiiiiig
