A Mock up print ad for Olay skin cream. The idea is pretty simple, keep your skin clean and smooth just like a peach , hence the clean style ad.

Comments and feedback appreciated

Notes : Peach from SXC

I agree with Micha's comments. A peace isn't smooth... How about a picture of a baby's butt? That'd definitely get someone's attention. And instead of "as smooth as a ___" you could just say "SMOOTH". But maybe it's too cliche. Not sure if I'm totally serious about the idea, but i do kind of like it...

yeah, go with the baby's bum =) Just show the bum, maybe with hands out the side with palms flat (such that the viewer doesn't see the palms themselves)

I agreed with Micha's comments on the most part, however, In my experience there are varying types of peach. The stuff I see in supermarkets is usually the much harder red shaded stuff depicted, they're generally a bit hard , and about arm-density to poke.

The other variety, that I've only seen in roadside stalls, tend towards a more yellowish shade, and are larger and somewhat softer, more facelike.

The stuff in the markets is usually almost bald, they have a really insignificant amount of skin hairs, and its often hard to discern whether they're actually peaches, or really nectarines.

The stuff you get on roadside stalls has a bit denser hairing, which increases the sensation of being "soft" a bit. ( Like kittens ! :D , kittens... you ... eat :S )

Its not like human/animal hair though, its not weird to eat ;)

However, this brings me to my main point I'm wanting to make: Normal people have facial hair. Yes, both genders. It tends not to grow as much or as dark as densely on females, but I assure you, unless they're appearance nuts, they don't find there's enough of it to warrant shaving. This in my opinion, is a good thing, hair has many good functions ( esp. in regard to sweat ). It is also reasonably good at catching the light so I would imagine it can also contribute to 'glow'.

But people who suggest using a babies bum as an alternative are really setting up everyone for an unreasonable unattainable standard. Babies bums are not faces.

Media and advertising need less of setting standards for us to make us buy buy buy whatever their latest product is, and need to start being good examples of normal people.

This advert at present is trying for "Its all natural" subconscious buy in, gained by the application of fruit and insinuation of relation to the product by sharing the colour, and what the advert is tying into it, the "All people must be bald faced", is creating yet another reason for normal good looking females to wallow in pain and abuse themselves, and I find this somewhat morally detestable ( Even if its only by how it conveys itself, but its not intentional )

Post Note: According to wikiedia, Nectaries are smooth, peaches are velvety ( that's the word I was looking for, not 'Hairy' ), and nectarines are in fact a cultivar of peaches.

wow thanks alot for the detailed comment :)

yeah i did keep in the back of my mind the 'natural' argument. Althought im glad i did convey a sense of not needing to be 100% Perfect at the same time

thanks so much for the comment :)
