Well done for being the highest voted creative ad that hasn't exploited the will of people to support a charity or the 'awww' factor. nice work!

Too simple an idea. Won't catch the eye I reckon
Vicky | 16 April 2009
I thinkt he ad looks catchy and is a nice idea, however, from a consumer point of view: a) the bus would have needed more than one coat! and b) i agree that the two reds probably wouldn't be the same colour which would only be dissapointing to the ad designers!

Dear N, I understand that but I feel it's a shame to advertise a bad product....!!!!!
N | 21 March 2009
Negative comments with no constructive content indicate a weakness of the person making them!
The General | 21 March 2009
You'd never match the pantone red of the bus with digital print... So it wouldn't work!?
N | 14 March 2009
Dear T, it is not the product that is being judged - it is the design! The design is sophisticated, classy and gets my vote. Well done guys!

I have used Dulux Once, and it took TWO coats................................

odd.
Louise | 07 March 2009
Well Done! By far the best ad - Good Luck!!
Nick | 07 March 2009
Everyone loves it!
Neil | 07 March 2009
Great job!
Marianne | 06 March 2009
What matters is whether the design promotes the product and makes it sell - yours outclasses the others in all aspects! I shall be looking out for you boys in the future.
ange | 06 March 2009
short & sweet! goes instantly to the point and catches attention, which is what its all about! ! ! ! ! well done, hope you win, you deserve it!
Kathy | 05 March 2009
This is good. It is short, precise and to the point. As an advertising medium it is easy to 'get'- you deserve a shot at the big boys!
Paula | 05 March 2009
Really clever idea. Well done.
Rakesh | 05 March 2009
I came across this competition in Campaign so thought I'd check it out. I really like the way you have exploited the red paint medium of the bus and extended it into your design to enhance the message. This is what ambient advertising is all about... finding new ways for the design to interact with its environment and I think this hits the nail on the head! Well done!

"Few would have picked up on proofreading, despite over twenty-five years in print I make no claim to perfection or even pretty fair.
I do think this ad. is pretty decent. Just not a match for something from small outfit such as 'The Art Of Animals '.
Is not the sub text here is debate and discussion upon what is and is not perception of [best] advertising ?"
Brilliant. Enough said. haha.
Dulux to win, and having looked at the Art of Animals comments i'm really surprised these guys have resisted the urge needlessly criticize your 'work' as you have theirs.
well done lads.
p.s. Designer comments are not copy. lol
Mark | 04 March 2009
Fair comment James.
Glad I made you laugh. We need more of that.

James | 04 March 2009
I don't usually leave comments, but Mark, yours made me laugh. Despite falling at the first hurdle, you proceeded to fall at the second by failing to realise that 'proof reading' is actually one word. I suggest that you leave a comment for a design you actually like in future. I think this one is great! Good luck!
Mark | 04 March 2009
I accept that we all make mistakes, as I did in failing to enter a full stop after my first line.
Nevertheless, proof reading is unlikely in e-mail and comment posting; it is essential in copy. Designer Comment is copy.
Mark | 04 March 2009
A fair image and reasonable design
But how can you rely upon an agency/designer that can not spell basic English and has no concept of either punctuation or grammar.
They need to grow.
Jen | 04 March 2009
sleek, simple and effective - gets the message across straight away. Good luck guys
Nicki | 04 March 2009
It's classy and effective. Ideal for the side of vehicles or posters because the message is instant. Great stuff - you deserve to win!
Antony | 03 March 2009
I like this, its got a good scope for use elsewhere and gets your attention nicely. Good luck guys...
Kate | 03 March 2009
Nice, simple and really effective! the message and medium really compliment each other! well done! Hope this wins!
Sarah Jessop | 03 March 2009
This is nice. this could be done on loads of other things too, like ads on buildings, phone boxes, other types of transport, taxi's, minicabs. anything really. clever stuff. good luck.
