 blew out the backgrond on purpose. My point was that children are now developing diabetes at an early age because of bad eating habits (meaning fast food) and in extreme cases they have to take insulin. I think this is risky because people might not get the point. Howvere I think I did a pretty good job making it look (almost) commercial quality. Wanted to get a lower vantage point, but my background wouldn't permit me to...hmm, we'll see. I have a bad feeling :(
...or maybe it's because I ate the burger and chocolate milk, blech!

you did a great job making the point. i really like your set-up. i would suggest sending it to the American Diabetes Association, but if they used it, they'd probably just get sued by McD's.

Good idea with this - I especially like how you included the toy and the packaging - hits home the point that marketing is partially responsible for this epidemic.

Good lightbox product shot - well exposed and great placement of the individual items. For some reason, I don't like the toy included in the shot but that's just personal preference.

I will have to say that you probably will not get this picked up by McDonalds for their ad campain...lol. Nice lighting and funny statement. I do find it a bit of a stretch for the challenge though.

Now this is what I call immovative marketing. not only supporting the fast food industry but also the pharma-industry.

Interesting product shot...accept I think advertising shotsa should promote a positive view of their products. Also a different coloured background may be better.

Lol - I'm not sure how well of an advetisement this would make for a fast food place. I would have scored it higher without the medical objects.

I like the idea, I was thinking something similar myself but I don't think you quite pulled it off.
