Who’s That Behind Those Foster Grants?

Analysis

Six portraits show Peter Sellers wearing different sunglasses. Short quotations treat each pair as a chance to play another role.

“Isn't that Peter Sellers behind those Foster Grants?”

Why it worked

The same face makes the differences between the glasses easy to see. Sellers’s ability to change character gives the product range a playful reason to exist.

Lesson

Use one familiar face to show how a product changes a person’s appearance.
