Corrected Forgetful Statement Ads

The Post-it 2012 Campaign Shows the Benefit of Sticky Notes

The Post-it 2012 campaign is filled with common forgetful statements that have been corrected at the last minute. For instance, one would have read, "I went on a road trip without a full tank of gas," but a piece of Post-It paper swooped in to save the day, covering up the 'out' in 'without' to show that it just narrowly helped avoid a frustrating situation.

Conceived and executed by students from the School of Visual Arts, New York, United States, the Post-it 2012 campaign was art directed by Camilo Galofre and MyTran Dang with creative direction by Jack Mariucci. A simple concept, to say the least, it nevertheless gets the point across perfectly well. With Post-It notes, people will easily be able to overcome their forgetful and neglectful tendencies, be them big or small.
