“Hallucinations” by Venables Bell & Partners
Posted by: | CommentsThis ad is shocking. It’s pretty depressing to see how people destroy themselves. But I guess the shock factor is sometimes required to make a lasting impression in the audience. It’s like the Truth campaign against smoking (by Arnold and CP+B), better give shocking images and facts than taking this horrible subject in a light way.
INTERESTING Y&R WORK
Posted by: | Comments
I found this print ad campaign of Y&R (Mexico) that was made for a foundation of children who burnt their face. The message is simple: don’t leave matches around children. I really liked this ad print because in contrast to all the humanitarian work that I have seen from other agencies, doesn’t really deliver the message. This may be because the ad’s layout or content is so overwhelming that it fails to deliver the message, or it may be because it lacks content. I think that this ad campaign is efficient in that it is straightforward, talks directly to the consumer and has a visual that engages the audience but at the same time, is not overwhelming.
