Hello, @dunsky xD

You have very catchy illustrations today: cute and nasty at the same time. Really dig them. I think people want you to do some mix with horror genre, because your unique style will give it next level of 'cool' and 'spiciness' xD.

As for the ad itself, I 100% support the cause of it, because I have witnessed enough of fatal car accidents in my life. But, I think one picture ad isn't the most effective way/format to promote the awareness. Moreover, the real problem was totally missed: it's not Facebook, Twitter etc. It's the usage of mobile phone while driving, that can lead to such consequences.

When I look at illustration #1 and #2, the first thing that comes to my mind is the suppression of free speech on these platforms. Because a man with Facebook logo and a birdie that resemble the Twitter logo are strapped to a chair and silenced with a duct tape and a string. I think them having theirs arms on top of a steering wheel and some minimal car interior would definitely help a bit. At least we would know it's a car and not some other place. Furthermore, I think that words in the 'cloud' quote should be way bigger, not only because I had to put my glasses on just to read it, but also because it's the main message of the whole ad.

You can say: "Man, If you are such a smart ass, give us an idea, how it should be done". Ok, no problem xD I'm not always about negativity and criticism. For example. Why not add a baby on a passenger seat and place a smartphone in its hands + add some slogan like: "Let a baby play with your phone, while you drive. You'll be definitely safer". Or if you want to be really mean - wrap a car around a tree, like some sort of snake, or just place a car on some big branch, put a phone in drivers hands, give a driver some scared look and finish it with: "Don't drive and text. Or you'll end up on a tree". These are just few ideas that came right away.

However, If you really want to make a difference, I think a small video would be the perfect format for such a campaign. Here is a very powerful one:

Hope you aren't fed up with me, @dunsky. Will be waiting for your next post :)

silent meditation is a great way to rejuvinate your energy, i do this twice in a year , it helps me focus on the big picture in life after running around for weeks and months.
those art are awesome , a reminder that time has come to keep our social media off the road, texting while driving is a major cause of accidents in my country

hmmm, that's a pretty challenging concept to depict... but it caught my attention, so its a success! you did a great job softening the silencing method lol. The sketches with the finger covering the mouth are definitely more appealing...
At the same time, in order to be effective, ads like these need to be a bit shocking to leave a lasting impression.

Anyway, thank you for sharing your work! its always fascinating.

Thank you very much! Yes, I agree with you, shock is good working method as well. The only thing for European eye was I thought it was too much. Maybe that initial versions worked for Arabian world more...
