Cannes 2007 Shortlist

These ads are surreal.

FRANK is a free and confidential source of unbiased information about drugs. We created a campaign entitled, mess with your mind which aims to target 11 to 18 year olds.

Messages within the campaign cover a wide array of issues including mental, physical and social side-effects of drug taking.

*upadate*
Here is a link to the rest of the ads in the campaign. There is some cracking good ones in there check them out.

Dude, that banner makes me want to smoke! Cool effect :)

I love the art direction of the campaign.
But let's face it: anybody that had a joint at least one time in his life can bust every half-truth claimed in that.

yeah it looks ok, but It's shock tactics guys - it's a bit like selling fruit juice with titties.

Production is pretty good. I'll give them that.

Fruit juice is bad for you?

Many Banners shown here are much to heavy in kB. This one has 51kb - in Germany no website oder mediagency would accept banners of this "size".
Many good ideas with no chance to be realized.

Couch: you could say banners like this are "couture ads". They show what’s possible when file size if the only restriction.

"FRANK is a free and confidential source of unbiased information about drugs."

Unbiased? This kind of misleading anti-drug propaganda is anything but. The worst thing anti-drug ads can do is exaggerate - it loses them all credibility.
