Nice idea.

But trees don't really grow from the bottom.

C-Rock's picture 28 pencils

Agreed.

Should have gone with some petrified wood. Hard to display that though I suppose.

Titon21's picture 9 pencils

Looks great.
But small idea on a big tree.

BOOBJOB LOOBCANNON's picture 1866 pencils

rockstar3 you have a defective, lazy brain. Quit now for god's sake.

We're going to need more lube.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

Sometimes the 'logic' matters waaaaay too much to some people here.
Nice job.

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

Davosk's picture 4853 pencils

I agree. Go Saints.

Rog's picture 6110 pencils

I've tipped them against the Bombers, Davosk!

>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.

BOOBJOB LOOBCANNON's picture 1866 pencils

I agree. It's because they have lazy brains.

We're going to need more lube.

Tero Ylitalo's picture 378 pencils

Agree with Rog, once again. The first impression matters, no, wait a sec, does it? Yes.

RM's picture 421 pencils

Hey Rog what's happening? How bout them cats!

Oh yeah nice idea by the way!

egha permadi's picture 10 pencils

nikkii's picture 14 pencils

well i have never seen a small tree (a young tree is better called a plant) in my entire life. idea is good but they shud have got their facts straight before implementing them

babylon's picture 16 pencils

Now the clients are really gonna think ad people never finish school.

Totto's picture 687 pencils

At least these guys did not.

Intelligent ads are the need of the hour.

Rabubi's picture 553 pencils

Critic: But trees don't grow like that.

Creatives: We would now like to use our Creative License Card.

Critic: Fair enough.

kgeiger's picture 6642 pencils

Now that's logical thinking! ;)

Nice advert.

super calibara's picture 176 pencils

Thank, dogs for the tanks.

ChuckNorris's picture 836 pencils

Maybe if the art direction was a bit more "unrealistic".

I don't know, an illustration maybe? Or just a crazier photo?

I still like the idea though. It's quick and funny.

Vicomte's picture 287 pencils

I like the idea. Very nice. Whether it is right or not, I think we can safely assume the audience are not anal enough to give a shit.

We're going to need more lube.

StarlaY's picture 308 pencils

Does the ad tells its' point nicely? -Yes...
Is advertising all about solid logical facts? -No...
Does advertising uses exaggeration as a tool often? -Yes...
So?...

Skor's picture 210 pencils

Totally agree with you.... Why is that ad people get into finding logic and flaws in ads? It's a nice ad, end of story...

and why is it that everyone is so up and ready to find flaws with other people's ads while their own are shite?

Do I sense a little bit of "I wish I thought of it, but since i didnt, let me just make it seem like a bad idea that's illogical?"

rkdigital's picture 116 pencils

nice idea, make me smile, but rough photoshop, blur brush traces simply ugly! fix it

matks's picture 476 pencils

Los arboles no crecen asi, pero la idea esta chevre.
