Anti Self-medication
Description
Millions of people in India develop various medical complications due to not consulting to a docotor / physician before consuming medicines for minor ailments. Worldwide as well, self-medication is a huge problem. Government / non-government agencies in India and other countries have not started recongnising it as a growing problem and taken up the issue on a serious note. Patil Hospital, mumbaihad organised a 'Patient Welfare Program'for educating patients / attendants / pharmacists / para-mecical staff / general public on various issues including 'self medication'. The poster titled ‘Self Medication’ was highly successful in catching the attention and generating awareness among them on the importance of consulting a doctor before consuming any medication. Around 5000 people attended the program that was conducted for 10 days. The poster design was recreated in the size of a pamphlet and distributed to all the visitors. People could understand the complications and complexity associated with self medication. Many of them vowed to not indulge in self medication and also encourge their friends and relatives to do the same.

well if the first 7 bullets didn't kill you maybe you're not doing such a bad job.

This would have been award winning if you had actually produced these pill packets with plastic bullets & message on the back. As it is, this idea is just OK. IMO.
works for me. its nice. my boyfriend needs to see this. he keeps consulting doctors but chooses his own medicines. Iam showing him this one.
am an advertising junkie | read my flog at http://www.desicreative.com/forum
Yeah I like it.
The art could be better, though.
Me gusta la síntesis, no creo que sea un primer pensamiento, aunque se me hace una forma muy vieja de comunicar.
The visual is great, but I have to agree with Phil Lestino
the copy is alright. visual is good. I wish it had a better tag line, because the body copy is good.
The idea was better than the solution.
Title is wrong. I treat myself better than my doctor. Everybody does. Don´t you?
silvi you got it wrong
you cant offer yourself better medicine than a doctor can
OK FINE, i know you were kidding

~ Quite obviously, I have gathered no moss ! ~
I almost said 'Yes' to the rhetoric question in the copy:-). Then realized that this should be 'No'.
But even then, i think this is a good work. good art direction.

Works for me. Copy could have been a bit more powerful though.
Good idea and good art direction. The copy could have been more interesting.
I respect doctors, but often treat myself ! I'm not sure this ad will make me stop !
An ad for Bullet Tooth Tony or Boris, the Bullet Dodger from Snatch. They live on after 7 bullets, noone else.
the art direction could have been spot on if the tablets of bullets were complete. for the copy. its quite not there yet. but nice idea
nice thought, execution is also cool. no need to make a fuss... its hitting already
Self-medication can be very dangerous. Always consult your doctor for medication.
coooooooooool
It doesn't make any sense.... how you survive taking 07 pills of ‘highly toxic' substance....
It would be much better if the pills were compete and unbroken
