Just posted so everyone can see it for you.

I love the concept man. The ignited sting is awsome! My only nake is your choice of fonts. I would go with a bolder loader font. But this might be subject to my taste. Lets see what everyone else says.

Oh and welcome to the GDF!

perfect, Nice work. But why does the bomb have a timer and a fuse?

i had the clock on there because i thought it helped the viewer tell that it's TNT at a quick glance...
the client actually asked the same thing, so his version doesn't have the clock on it. Do you guys think it would be better without it?

Thanks for your comments btw

Yep, I think no timer would work better.

Other than that, I love it. I disagree with Benjo about the font not being bold enough - but do agree that it the font thing is one of those things that is just a matter of personal preference.

Yep drop the clock, it just is not needed. It is TNT you don't have to smack the viewer in the face with it, they will see it and get the point.

Maybe I do not understand the concept, but what's that safety-match for?

the products is a indoor tanning lotion with a 'Hot effect.' I guess when your tanning in a tanning bed the hotter the lotion the better, because the heat raises the blood to your skin, ultimatly making your skin more vunerable to UV rays, allowing you have a darker tan faster. (well known fact if your a salon owner, or hardcore tanner) and this ad is going in a magazine that Tanning Salons would get.... So thats why it maybe hard for the 'average joe' to get.

the product is called nFuze, so the first thing that came to my head was 'fuse.'
the match is there to show that this lotion is so hot and powerful that it could be used as a fuse for TNT. a fuse to 'ignite your tan.'

hope that clears it up some. :)

Hey, Taylor.

My only comment was (before reading your most recent post), what's the product? I don't think an ad should need a follow-up explanation.

april, i can uderstand what you are saying...
but this being an ad for a targeted market, i don't think it would need a follow up explanation. especially when you were a tanning salon owner reading an indoor tanning lotion magazine which it appears in.
btw, you may not be able to see it in the image, but the lable of the bottle does say 'Dark Tanning Bronzing blend with Warming Effect.'
