Description:

Well i decided to put across a powerful statement and promote an actual Durex product at the same time. I mainly used colors to grab peoples attention. But the message is clear. Many teenagers have come to a conclusion that unprotected sex feels so much better than protective sex. Well now with Fetherlite they don't have an excuse. This should hopefully encourage younger groups to think twice about it and actually go out an buy some. Because the risk just isn't worth it. Although many girls use the pill contraceptive method, it still doesn't protect from spreading STD's. This is what i want to put across, and in many future posters to come.

Thank you for your time, and i shall be uploading more in the future.

Its a very good idea. I like it alot. However, its hard to read the text. From a first glance it looks like a mess, its only when you take the time to read it that the message is clear. Therefore i dont think it would be good, because an advert has to catch your attention.

It looks very dis-organised, and I cant tell what is going on. Also the grey 'bubble' doesnt represent anything.. Also the 'No' is put over the box of condoms and is hard to recognise with a durex logo in the background. Apart from that WELL DONE!

to me this poster looks all over the place, should have picked one thing and stuck with it, not tryed 10 different ideas in one poster.

great idea, only thing is you can't read the 'no excuses' to clearly and thats areally good message. if it stood out more it would be really good.

I could only see the excuses upon first look along with too many different colours. why is there a grey blob there?

I feel like it's a bit to manic. If this were on a billboard and people were driving by in their car it would be extremely hard to take it in. I think your ideas are really good, especially because a lot of teenagers wont use condoms because they think it feels different so i think your idea is spot on!

too crowded in my opinion, you struggle to see the point of the advert! very creative layout but no point being creative when the message is hidden!

I can see where your coming from. but you have too many layers on top of each other, its a bit complex, if you defined cetain aspects, and made parts less transparent to hide others parts; this would draw the eye to certain places, so it could flow alot better and make your message clearer.

what is going on here? it is just a mess! why would you use so many filters on it? keep in mind the phrase "less is more"

i like how the colours on the left hand side are eye catching, although when you look across the page its just a bunch of images that have been layered on top of each other

the poster is too busy, complicated and not set out well. the no over durex is a very bad mistake, you can hardly read them.

is a bit disorganised but if it was altered slightly then it would be quite good!

your stating that your using a powerfull message. I dont see it, its lost in the confusion of all the stuff and colour going on. And then you have the logo two times in the poster, on of them completely bend out of shape. And theres no colour match to the Durex. Theres no way people would relate to this poster, andbe targeted either. This poster wouldnt even make yourself stop and think.
