Not quite. It’s a bit raw to me…. It should have been:

-The Wheel inside the condom itself to show being covered and safe, not the packet!

-RED means in a way “AIDS” specially if it’s condom (pack)

Goddammit! Where’s the Burgan Bank Campaign?!!!

A concept born in a “nothing to do working hours”, then a mobile shot, taken by a trainee designer and he don’t know there is some thing called art direction. Then he decided to publish this crap here under a GREAT NAME OGILVY, David Ogilvy will throw himself thru window if he still alive in this world, after seeing this work!!!

Hmmmm….used idea. Saw the same thing in New York Festival where there was a tyre inside the condom wrapper. That ad was for Good Year tires. No offense to anyone…just an observation

The the link that “NEW” posted is the same one I am referring to. The ad with the blue wrapper is featured in the New York Festival but strangely enough, the client is listed as Goodyear, not Dunlop. (Prolly same manufacturer)

loui, I am waiting your BLOG, will be nominated for Cyber lion? LOL

Louai Alasfahani

No Adchemist my blog will not get an award…however it will stop all you copy cats from getting awards once and for all.

It will be the pre-judgment tool for all the upcoming award competitions; locally, regionally and internationally.

So I guess you should stop blogging, start reading and working your assess off cause you will soon be exposed (for who you really are) and will have to REALLY work for a living.

Now run along.

There’s a huge setback to that…. you might get sued by those agencies you’re trying to hit. So don’t act smart, Picasso. You should be aware of that Dumbo.
