I know the guy who made that ad, he was in my marketing class at the University of Waterloo in Canada. The project was to create, or recreate a marketing scheme for a current product. He also made a very impressive commercial and a few other ads for new palm products he had envisioned. I wonder if he knows this is out there!!
@Ignatius: Go to your local coffee shop on Saturday morning, befriend a few road cyclists. We all have "white hands & tanned arms". Some of us have white hands, tanned arms & fingers. I've tried to remedy it but you just get used to it after a few years.
Even thou this is a bit 101 when it comes to ad layouts. The person did an awesome job. As far as quality, it is pretty professional looking to me.
"good for a student". Actually, whoever did this...did a better job then the majority of posers i have to deal day to day claiming to be professional designers.
Yeah, It's not genius work... and this layout has already been done for Post-It years ago. So it's not an original idea.
But it's well done regardless.
Who ever say, "good for a student" except for wannabes.

Actually great ad!
If it's a fake then Palm's advertising department should probably hire this fanboy.

If this ad is fake, at least it'd explain that two-tone arm and hand. That creeps me out. It's like he wears gloves 24/7 and tanned his arms.

Clearly a Photoshop job. The silhouetting between his arm and the background, while decent for a student, isn't even close to professional quality.
Palm doesn't have an ad dept. They do use a Ad Agency. Am sure this kid already on the road to a great firm.
