Interesting visual for this pepsi ad. I like the art direction, but something feels a little strange in this one. What does a straw really have to do with being skinny? What are your thought on this?

I think it’s a bit of a stretch. She’s thin as a straw because she drinks Pepsi Light? Okay, so you dress the target up as a straw.
I guess I’m having the most trouble with the woman herself—she looks hunched, uncomfortable. It’s not an athletic pose at all. It looks like she was told to position herself so she looked the most straw-like. It might be better if she were a little more human-looking…

In europe they call it Pepsi Light, while here in north america its diet pepsi.

I just like how her shoulder is done.

Yeah, Pepsi Light, like dotone said. It’s makes it seem like you’re drinking nothing at all.

Ditto with what dotone said.
I didn’t notice it was a straw till you pointed it out.

It would look nicer (art direction sense) if they omit those blueish glow on the corners…..it just makes the whole ads so 90s.
Idea wise, so so.

That’s a turn off for me. I just keep getting this picture of sucking on her head.

On second thought, maybe it’s just a lame idea…

I agree tha it’s a bit of a stretch. The straw itself is a thin object and that’s about it. There’s no need to over analyze it.
Unusual visual that doesnt say much. We can write it off with the millions of other ads out there that will soon be forgotten.
