Don't kill your eyes. Donate them instead.

If you don't donate your eyes at the time of death, you are literally letting them 'die' with you. So you are killing your eyes as you don't let them live on.

has any good advertising ever come out of india?

That is so baseless and it stinks of unwarranted racism. Nevertheless, u need to chk your statistics and a serious reality check.

I can't believe last comment. Shame on you! You need to learn about racism.

In the other hand, I think it is an experimental design and I don't think it is bad at all. Once I saw a campaign for organ donation using a tiger! and it won a lot of prizes. Open your minds!

Creativity is an inner monster.

You know, comments on an ad usually affect my judgement.
But this time around I don't understand what the fuss is all about.
I really like this piece of work. It's risky but worth taking the risk. GOOD STUFF!!!

bad idea

Guest's picture

this is so creepy, seeing the eyeballs like that.

I would immediately turn the page, and I doubt I would donate my eyes after that!

Guest's picture

Also I seriously doubt the whole idea.

"Please dont kill your eyes" ?

Donation is a decision based on emotion - the ad should play on emotion. Bad bad brief.

this is for the "guest Commenter" --- "has any good advertising ever come out of india?"

This is so wrong. The creatives probably thought they had an ace with this "edgy" concept. Creepy images won't make anyone donate their eyes. This misses the mark in all levels.

very stupid idea

crashdummyglory's picture 39 pencils

Hello friends. this time around it is a steam locomotive ( archaic ). and the eyes are green...could we have the wonderful brown or the black that indians mostly have for their eye color( Aishwarya Rai...yawn... excluded ). Oh no, but this must be for a global audience. no it isn't. oh my God ! here we go again.

THIS IS A BAD WORK, ALL PEOPLE KNOW THAT

Guest's picture

Dios!. Esto es verdaderamente feo e inconsistente. Aunque no soy de los que critica por diversión las piezas que acá se exponen, sí creo que debemos tener más cuidado con lo se manda para que sea exhibido.
