What killed me on that concept was two fold…(1) just the thought of the sperm vs. hommos relationship put me off hommos for a while (2) it’s a replica of a Hagen Daz ad that I remember from my college days … (1992)…I was just checking if we were thinking the same thing:)

Amre, I saw the same concept and execution in the communication art magazine in the year 1996 (as i can remember) , it was an ad for Food product “Fox”, so simply master Ramzi copied the same ad, actually he only changed the logo and the product

this is waht i call the ART OF STEALING

um, the notepads don’t just say “recycled” I hope you visited the actual website and saw for yourself.

They all go as “I used to be a….”
so yeah, to me it’s just stealing, lol. I mean, there’s so much about recycling you can work around.

I’m sad to see how illustrations are missing badly from Arabic ads,
wish we can do throwbacks to Egyptian ones in the 50s of some sort!

It is smart advertising to socialize paper recycle. SImple and easy to understand…

Yes Omar and I have a few note pads on my desk that say recycled too…but its the concept than rather than place ads in magazines and newspapers to say you recycle (by the way most np and mag’s arent recycled paper) it would be nice to do it on your stationary….CHILL it’s a smarter way of saying you are environmentally friendly…

Are you kidding me? this is so copied from Remarkable’s products!!!!
http://www.remarkable.co.uk/
just open the website and see any product and what it says - I personally have 4 mini notepads of them saying “I Used to Be a Plastic Box”

maaaan, that’s just ripping….
