Description:

Having sex without wearing a condom is a massive risk, possibly resulting in unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

This poster idea is taken from the quote, 'Life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get'. I replaced the word 'life' with 'sex' and have used a light hearted illustration/visual metaphor of a chocolate box branded 'Durex Temptations' to get the point of unprotected sex across. Connotations of sex and chocolate can be made and I have used blue and pink to link to the Durex brand colour palette.

A possible campaign could be to actually produce real Durex temptation chocolate boxes, which could be sent out to youth clubs around the UK.

i really ike this idea, because it is different and it grabs your attention, because you dont realise what it is at first, but when you take a closer look, you can tell its for durex

i like this because you've changed the quote to 'sex' and it would clearly stick in people's heads well done

Hi yeah thanks for your comment, i feel the concept would work beter if the boxes of chocolates were made, think it will be cool! Cheers

haha i like it... i reckon you don't need the second line of copy tho, we get the message of the poster without it - leave a bit of space for the reader...

iv seen another one on here. this is idea for me is too unoriginal. it lacks anything creative bcos the quote has already been used. you could use that quote for any product so it makes this poster not distinctive enough. excellent drawing but it does not 'make someone my age think twice before unprotected sex'.
