Well I have to give it up for the creativity but I’m not too sure how well this would go over in the eyes of the general public. I don’t think this ad was actually made by Durex, this seems like a student project maybe. It’s funny… and the ad would certainly grab a lot of attention but I don’t think Durex would want the blow back that would come with making an ad like this public. I will say however it’s perfect for the blogosphere and viral advertising!

“Art immortalizes. It brings life to an empty canvas by infusing it with a thousands of images. Truly, we do see God in every Art.”

“It’s surprising how little things that usually escape the human eye can come together and create something larger than life. Truly, for us, God lies in the details.”

I really like the idea behind this ad and it plays well with the product being a Sunblock lotion. The names they chose to use in this campaign are perfect!

You don’t see Everlast around too much anymore especially in the shadow of new companies like “Tap Out” and “Affliction”. Everlast is best known for their presence in the world of boxing; What some people don’t know is that Everlast is now making their push to snatch a share of the MMA world! I wish them all the luck in the world especially because I’m sick and tired of seeing all these gym rats running around with tight Affliction t-shirts on (at the grocery store, at yoga, at nice restaurants, etc.)!

I really like the typography but I’m not too sure it’s what Everlast needs marketing wise to make an impact on their target demographic. I don’t think the average muscle head, protein shake drinking… arm bar submitting guy cares about typography. I on the other hand can appreciate it… so for that, kudos Everlast but you probably should have played it safe with girls in bikinis or pit bulls graphics and tattoo art!

I’ve got to be honest with ya’ll… I’m not sure what I find more attractive, the model or the font! All joking aside this campaign showcases some really good fashion photography and I love the font they used. If anyone knows what it is, please chime in.
