Ad sketches - Mika & Mo

Scanner problems are awesome.
Anyway, here are our sketches, we decided to each do 10 sketches and tried to make them self explanatory in the ads themselves. Feel free to ask any questions and leave comments! :)



Audi has always been about technology and being the first to implement it, with these ads, especially the second set, we tried to show that among other things.
The new S4 is the "greenest" of its competitors thanks to Audi's race proven FSI technology that has won them 6 Le Manns championships in a row. Audi has gone from a V8 back to forced induction with their new V6T which is supercharged and achieves 28mpg highway.
The new S4 has a new sport differential coupled with its legendary quattro all wheel drive system which is now rear-wheel biased for a sportier drive and feel.
The quattro all wheel drive system is all weather capable, and incredibly fun to utilize on twisty roads.
They offer VW/Audi's Direct Shift gear-box which operates with dual clutches for incredible shifting speeds (not advertised) along with a standard manual transmission.

We also wanted to show that although the new S4 is race bred, that it is still incredibly elegant and understated.
