Abusing Nature

November 1, 2007

This is what i call absolute abuse for mother nature by using it in meaningless poor advertising, by the way the slogan “ma3an nanmo” is already used by Nuqul group (http://www.nuqulgroup.com) “Growing together” !!!!!!
and the new logo is really sux for the following reasons:
1- its too green
2- the symbol milted in the green box without any interesting contrast
3- ugly typeface for both Arabic & English beside they are not consistent with each other at all

To me this is just another lame transformation campaign

Knowing the culture is part of being responsible creative agency, because every single ad reflects a certain value, so the above is not Jordanian and it reflects nothing but negativity.

Sorry Y&R this is just another loser ad

Contradiction!

1- the link between the headline and the picture is missing + why there are 2 different headlines ?
2- I don’t like the way they cropped the picture its really distracting because the focus here is more on the “colors guide” by the way this colors guide is the one we use in print and not for paint !!

thanks ..

This is just another boring ad with over used concept, anyway I have some comments regarding the art direction here:

1- Why the olive fruits are green?! We don’t usually eat them green!
2- The visual is not appealing at all specially when the viewers are not familiar with this composition, it could have been the branches, palm tree vs. olives tree

“there is a never endless sea of ideas and successful solutions”

Come on people stop this “chess” ads they are super over used, come up with something different something more creative and original!!!!

This is part of a big campaign spread all over Amman, and simply they want me to donate after I see this !!! How come I really don’t know,,

- The connection between the headline and the visual is missing its not even exist
- The graphical treatment is more like a Cold robot style where it should be more warm and human to be close to the heart
- The layout is too busy and unbalanced specially when the logical connections between the elements are missing

its not easy to come up with a good donation campaign, check out the following link to under stand what i am talking about:

This is what i call 5 minutes ad, no thinking no strategy no nothing but a silly idea and ugly design ,,

Death Jump!

I am really against the concept here for the following reasons:
- the guy who goes to his work every day is not like who jumps from airplane!! (bad metaphor), That’s why the main concept is weak, in simple words It doesn’t motivate me to go and subscribe for the social security, they could have been done something more situational where we can see and feel the main benefit in a very interesting way ..

Design wise:
There are too much elements in the ad :
- The parachute guy
- The tree
- the logo
- blue sky and green land
All together are making the visual distracting and hard to under stand !

That’s it, hope that the next ad or campaign will be better, and up to the standards
