Well, my initial thought was to do the "Got Milk?" ad, but when I tried milk I realized that it doesn't look like much of anything like you see in the ads. So I started thinking about what else would work, and came up with Ranch dressing.
I was going to still call it "Got Milk?" but the idea of calling it "Got Ranch Dressing?" seemed a little more humorous... especially since I'm guessing there may be a LOT of "Got Milk?" ads in this challenge, and this might be a fun alternative.
Should have considered this idea for the Self Portrait challenge! :)

Just scrolling through some past challenges and stumbled across this...this cracked me up..great parody..love the expression on your face (or your model)!
well it's funny, the lighting is good, composition is pretty good... would like to see the top of the head, but this aspect ration made for difficult framing.
i am assuming you found a milk mustache hard to obtain...?
ok, i am voting this challenge in 2 passes. in this pass, you will get a partial comment and a score. then i will come back to comment again. if you have any problem whatsoever with this comment, pm me and let me know. otherwise, take it with a grain of salt...i'm not trying to be a know-it-all, i'm just explaining where i'm coming from in voting this challenge. and, if this comment is NOT helpful (of if you think i'm full of $#!+), don't mark it helpful.
billboards are a science unto themselves. a lot of research has gone into determining just how much information a person can digest and retain in specific time spans. they use this information to develop formulas for determining the number of words and letters to use on billboards, as well as their sizes. they also determine the size and number of visual elements to include.
the graphics/photograph on a billboard are designed to get the point across in a moment. on the road, a driver will have less time with a billboard than a voter will give your image. this is a key element in the challenge: composing a shot that will get its point across quickly and succintly. along those lines, a strong composition will probably have few details and make strong use of negative space.
oh my... so NOT an appealing way to sell ranch dressing. It's as bad as smearing body wash all over your face then just towelling it off... funny though
