Description:

This poster i designed with a slight bit of humor and a very simple message. I decided to promote the website itself for younger students to seek advice and FAQ's. I have found many younger groups haven't had much advice or education in sex or use of contraception. Many aren't even sure on how to wear a condom. So i decided to create this funny parody of someone attempting practice on a cucumber. This i used my own photography and used current blending techniques with erasing to create a blended effect that i hope promotes the Durex brand well. This is a kind of poster i can see posted up in a nightclub toilet or college. I can do a better job on this poster and hopefully develop it to have alot more depth and precision in the future.

More to come.

good idea on adding the website, but overall not very good / attention grabbing

I really cant see the potential in this, i like the "unsure" bit and the website tho. just not graphics wise.

there are some objects in the advert that you would associate with sex but not safe sex in particular.

Well done did you think of this you're self! What the? Two floating tomatoes and a cue-cumber with a condom on it right! That don't make me want to have protected sex, it makes me want to laugh I'll give you a brake well done for the eligible text

Well, you could work more on the pictures and overall outlook. And I would suggest, on the idea as well... I am still trying to think what are you trying to suggest with the question?

This is just awful. Makes me never want to be associated with durex condoms.

this is pretty budget to be fair, unclear message - makes you wonder what they are trying to get at rather than the main issue

typography is very now and i like how the durex logo has been strectched to compliment the cucumber. Nice!

You are the weakest link...lol this is poor my friend, not funny or graphically interesting. and trust me, we know that you took the photos yourself. SHOCKING!!!! the colours do not compliment each other, the "durex" logo is warped, the typeface is aweful. background image is rediculous. start again mate.

I dont get what it means. If your penis looks like that then you have problems, and i dont think wearing a condom would sort it out

this is a very poorly designed poster, all you have done is taken a picture of a cucumber and some eggs..

good job your taking illustration and not graphics.

it reminds me of year 5 sex ed when youve got to strap up bits of fruit. i could have probably done a better poster in year 5 actually

are you from barnsley?

it doesn't portray why people should use a condom, it's obvious to some people but if the younger group don't know much about the subject then how is this going to help them?

Scrap the idea. it's aweful, it really is. Maybe do some homework on what visual communication is about other than making a big mess of imagery in photoshop.

dont think so!

its funny! it so silly that kids are likely to remember it

Unsure of what? Eating a cucumber with a condom on it? Unsure of this being design at all...Are you advising people to use a cucumber and tomatoes in sex instead of doing it for real? I dont get it, and im terrified by the execution and the design process in this piece...Bad imagery, badly layered, not simple, awful use of colour.

poor.

jemma_topham (Jemma Topham)

really not a good design i really do not like the whole use of fruit i think its abit cheesy and really is not proffessional looking and also does not get the message across it did however make me laugh so yeh tar lol but not for durex tho me thinks

winner.

I think this poster is a good idea! You have clearly tried to get the web adress across, which I haven't seen before and is a great idea!!! But it's a little fragmented, it doesn't all flow together! But on the other hand look at your number of ratings!!! :D Rock on!
