That was the three-word brief for Jonathan Mak’s recent design.

Ogilvy & Mather China tracked Jonathan down, a then-19 year old graphic design student at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, to ask about working on a project for one of its clients.

“I enjoy making visual puns. I don’t want to say it’s my style, but I do enjoy combining elements together to create a joke almost. It captures people’s attention. These kinds of images are quite appropriate to advertising. It takes a second to get, and then there’s an ‘aha’ moment.”
— JONATHAN MAK

Quoted from Creativity Online.

The poster design has been appearing in Shanghai.
