Brief Explanation
To exemplify Leica's manufacturing process, we decided to make posters that were handmade as well.

They were a real collage of negatives developed exactly in the order they appear. Therefore, the photos had to be taken in a precise sequence so that the title, the image of the camera and the logo could fit in this form.

The collage was then placed on backlight panels and exposed at the Leica store.

Describe the brief from the client
Leica's products are known for being made with such care that that's almost like they were hand crafted. This justifies its high prices and, specially, adds value to Leica's cameras. We wanted people to remember that and to desire Leica's gadgets.




Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.



Leica has always communicated why its products have value, but has never exemplified it to the people. It was the time to do so and we made it by using the same craft method Leica uses to build its products.




Describe the results in as much detail as possible.



With the posters placed in the Leica store they managed to clear the stocks of their film cameras (approximately US$4,000 each) in 2 months.
