Ad of the Week: Samsonite - Heaven and Hell

The ad, created by JWT Shanghai, depicts people on an airplane that is in "heaven and has a lower level that's in hell - all to show the durability of Samsonite's luggage. The idea was to depict the heaven the passengers got to experience, compared to the hell their luggage was going through. It's all about the great illustration, giving a sculpture like feel to the image and telling the story with no words - just the client logo.
