MTV A.I.D.S Campaign

Some would argue this campaign prints are a litte…too much. I would not! I definitely find interesting the potential this ad has: it brings out the fact that..doing an ordinary thing doesn’t necessary mean you should underestimate the consequences that that thing can bring and their effect on your ordinary life.
Except for A.I.D.S…nothing has changed!
