A nice idea, its a shame they did not work on the the small details; eye animation and maybe a smile at the end of the ad would have strengthened the idea somewhat, however the ad still has impact. Translation: Help us put a stop to street violence!

good work!

That's a mighty long time until a reveal. The animation was slow and subtle enough that I wasn't even sure I was doing anything. I (and by me, I mean the ad) could have done with an autoplay, too.

Also, it's VERY close to this ad, which I thought had a fantastic execution:

I'm guessing media placement made this have more impact (no pun intended), but overall it gets a point across about violence well. Not speaking Swedish means I didn't get the minutiae of the overall campaign, but it works.

Nice. I think a CTA might be needed, and the hand cursor doesn't do anything for me. A different icon might be more indicative of what I should be doing.

I didn't know what to do! It did get my attention though. Shame...
Details are everything... it's so important to retain objectivity and put yourself in the shoes of your audience.

A CTA or autoplau would of helped. I didn't know I could click and drag to make the bruises clear up until I read the above comments about a reveal.

I like how when you roll off the ad she reverts back to being bruised, as if by ignoring the ad you are ignoring the issue...

its a shame this is not video as the effect would have been much more powerful and real!
