Yes, very nice. Gets the message across.

"Assume nothing, question everything."

This idea is older than most people on this forum. 39 years old this year in fact. It was done first and better in 1970. The headline, art direction and message were better in the original. And what was groundbreaking in 1970 is not-so-much today.

For fuck's sake, people working as advertising creatives should know the first thing about advertising. try to get a job at Saatchis with that in your book. The laughter would be deafening.

I doesn't look nice, it looks weird. It does the communication job it is supposed to.

yes it looks weird, but not in the way it should. beetween the lighting, the facial expresion (he looks twentysh), the shot, the headline across the photo, the "details" of who this boy is, the message comes across noisy and unclean.

Also the writing should be better, the headline its a little confusing.

I like the "get beyond disturbed. get involved." though.

i totally agree with u it isnt nice and the peopl who saying ist nice dont know what their talking about.and it does the communication job it is suppoed to.its stupid.

Its a good and true insight.
But, I think the execution is off.

It looks gooffy. Meaning, slapstick comedy so
maybe it doesn't work on the level the creatives mean it to.
I assume they meant it to be more serious.

What a dumb idea!!!

It's not less disturbing when it's a girl. Of course showing a 15-years-old pregnant girl would be first idea but that's
just wrong direction of thinking. Gender has nothing to do with age.
I guess it's a bad concept based on a 'we hope it will be a
very' shocking image.
(There's some potential in it if they would try to convince parents
who have only sons.)

Guest's picture

i guess they are trying to get the point across that teens shouldnt want to get pregnant because its not just the girls problem. the baby has to have a dad and he has to be responsible. the gender doesnt matter, because the baby will need two parents!
