She is pissed because he has obviously given her a gift that will NOT FIT into her small bag there. Also, by the looks of the back of the guy's head, he is too lazy to take nude photos of her. He's actually asking her to just give him some nude photos of herself. I don't get what Joe means, referring to the third photograph, by saying sex sells. What could Joe possibly mean? I don't get it.

When it wasn't obvious to me what was going on, I looked harder to see if I'd missed something. Maybe that was the ad designer's intent. But I dislike the ad, and it doesn't make me feel shiny about Kodak, so in that case he or she has still failed. Yeah, what he's saying doesn't really make sense if you think about it, but I decided I liked it enough to ignore that fact.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Joe - I LIKE that! :) What made you go with the pink balloon?

Local spots are all about information, but because I've worked with the parks department for several years they let me get a little artsy - my call. So I managed to stylize this one, at least for the genre, a bit. The Florida Special Events Association liked it - they gave it a Best Commercial award for 2005.

The problem is the photograph. I take it the photo is meant to convey disappointment or skepticism, but it's ambiguous - the worst thing an ad can be. Seems the producer was determined, at all cost, to present a 'Kodak Moment', when the concept calls for an Ellen Degeneres moment.<BR/><BR/>The second ad works because it grabs you and makes its point in a blatant and graphic way.<BR/><BR/>As for the third, sex sells and still does.
