Guest's picture

Upside down passionfruit I think.

What a great campaign. So simple, yet so beautiful. Love it.

Guest's picture

there is like a giant grape in the middle.
And cheated on that one using a plate with a green bottom ;)

Guest's picture

Look a bit closer... I see banana leaves on the plate.

Great campaign. Very impressive.

Wow...brilliant campaign. It's is what we call "Dhasoo" in Mumbai...

Guest's picture

Dear Mr.Dhasoo lal from Mumbai...tujhe sharam nahi aati aise done to death idea ko achcha bolte hue?

Flags made from food is a 19th century idea. That too sooooooooooooo many of them. As if one bad ad wasn't enough. Unimaginative advertising people like these should work some place else.

Ivan please check the quality of work being posted on this site. I am noticing a gradual deterioration.

Tune abhi tak kiya ukhada hai jo itna dhas de raha hai??? (What have you achieved till now that you're hollering so much?) A lot of good work can actually touch base with some similar idea from the past. It's the execution that makes the difference. Talking of imaginative advertising, why don't you post some of your own work and have the guts to own it up? Let's see who you are, smarty.

I'm always increasing the bar gradually. Maybe your taste gets more refined. The more you see the harder to show you something original.

Ivan...you're hot. Phew!

Yes, in the popular and burgeoning field of making flags out of food and other stuff, this is a stand out example.

Much better than this one for instance.

It's an avocado in the middle. A really simple and used concept, but so well art directed. I like the selection of ingredients for each country.

Simple, but I like it!

I haven't seen flags done like this before. The art direction is really outstanding. Great campaign.

It's funny but you can clearly understand why advertising is becoming increasingly unimportant just by reading the comments here:
"I haven't seen flags done like this before", "A really simple and used concept, but so well art directed"... so what, who cares?
I'm taking a wild guess here, but maybe most people commenting here are from India, Thailand, wherever, where culture is really, really different and this kind of campaign would really cause a buzz and draw thousands of people to the festival... But believe me, everywhere (australia included, sorry) else this is just bad and irrelevant advertising.

So simple and to the point.

There's nothing wrong with reusing an old concept, as long as it's done right. In this case, the presentation is beautifully done. The food looks both appetizing and fresh while the flag colors are not compromised. Good job!

Despite its lacklustre art direction, "Sydney International Food Festival: Flags" is definitely worth a look, and few will be bored by it. It's a charming campaign that falls short of greatness, but is still worth a solid rating.

more flags? great. just what we need

When seeing some ad you think: "f...ck, why this idea isn't mine!?", you know that it is a really good piece of work. Great campaign!

maracujá com limão!

I have to chime in with the chorus on these.
We've all seen flag campaigns before – some even done with food – but never as good as this.
Tip-top work. Congrats to the team.
