Paper Hole
Playing up to the humour that Durex use throughout the majority of their published advertising campaigns, I wanted to create something that would utilise comedy in simple form to promote safe sex.
Using the fairly tongue in cheek strapline, I applied it to a photograph I shot of a crumpled page with a hole punched in the centre.
The paper copy of the image has the hole cut out so that when it's placed somewhere, The hole becomes more apparent, Unfortunately not a visible element within the digital upload of it but hopefully the concept still gets across.

Thanks Samuel, I may upload a reworked version of it, But I've toyed about with different textures, gradients and colours behind the hole and it really creates much of the same effect, It may, Unfortunately, Just be one of those things that only really works on paper! Really like your I <3 series by the way, Illustrates just how much can be done with a minimalistic and simplistic approach :)

Hey Dave, i really like this idea. maybe to enforce the fact there is a hole in the poster you could have bricks showing through or another material which is used to create walls. i like it --- or maybe it should be black behind.
