Safe sex is serious business. Period. Yet...it doesn't hurt to spread the message with a sense of humour, no? Enter Argentinian designer GUILLERMO VEGA, the creative director of Y&R advertising firm (one of the 10 most-awarded agencies in the world), whose brilliant mind has conjured up award-winning ads promoting safe sex.
Especially memorable are Vega's Rabbit ads for condom-maker Tulipan, where bunnies are joyfully playing volleyball, rowing and lounging by a lakeside, or picnic-ing in the fields. The tagline is especially arresting: "Fun now, kids later." Genius! This print series won an award at the 2007 Cannes Lions.
You'll raise your eyebrows at Vega's Tulipan Skeleton ads -- the arresting images show skeletons posed in various sexual positions...with the tagline: "Be Careful." Damn.
