Hello, dear xltronics.
I made it to the finals in an unofficial Saab ad contest, with more than 500 entries, so I already feel like a winner! BUT, there are some cash prices, so if you like my ad, I'd be very very happy if you voted for it.
Saab contest, mine is #13, at the bottom.
Thanks in advance, I'll keep you updated!

done. still in the lead (26%, 184 Votes)
yours genuinely stands out amongst the rest. every other one just looks like the average car ad i'd not take a second glance at.

Thank you so much for the support!
Wow, yeah, looks really good at the moment, did not expect to be in the top entries, but I guess people like it because it doesn't resemble the other ads at all and don't even display a car.
I will not win a car, unfortunately. There is some cash to be won, on the other hand. And some vouchers. And some fudge.

congs viktor !! its easy to tell you will win, because of girls vs boys. in a young school kids classrrom with some sort of "election" if there is for example 2 girls running and 1 boy the boy will win because the boys in the class will tend toward voting the boy and the girls vote is become split. with this there is 12 "girls" (white ads which all look basicly exactly the same) a 1 "boy" yours so even if there were a lot more then 1/2 girls in the class youd still win!!!!

SAAB: Do not SOB (or is it pronounced sab, aw fuck it) when we charge you 65$ for installing a 3 cent cr2032 battery in your remote control, though its probably renamed to something like SAAB32, just to trick you and lock you into buying our brand even though normal batteries would work just as well, probably even better.
SAAB, we don't discriminate against gays anymore! Hey everyone I know, we'll have an advertising campaign disguised as a contest. Think of all the backlinks pointing to us as all those poor peasants compete to win A PRIZE, lol. Just give 1% of the money we'll earn from the backlinks as the prize. DON'T GIVE A CAR! We don't want one of those poor peasants driving our cars! We're supposed to appeal to high class people like tom hanks! Tom hanks isn't gonna buy shit if he sees victor driving a SAAB, probably stinking it up like pig pen.

Yeah, Olly Moss is of course one of my idols in this area. Love his stuff! Brandon Schaefer's work is also very impressive. Noma Bar has done some sick posters as well.

didn't your coffee & cigarettes poster get complimented by some design hero?
you should post new work, and maybe your saab poster, and maybe also old work, here: http://www.reddit.com/r/design
for great social media exposure

Which design hero was that? I just know that it's been blogged and featured on different sites, and also saved as a favorite on flickr by Mr. Moss! :-)
Yeah, reddit is great for getting exposure, good thing that you reminded me about the design section! Have posted some of my stuff there, will definitely use it again in the future.
