update...

Ok so its been a long time since ive blogged. So i came back from New York and spent 2 weeks working on my dissertation then went off to Cyprus where I worked with the head promoters to produce all the promotional flyers for the events out there over the summer season. It was good to work on the same format and theme for all of them but having to produce lots of them that were all different to eachother.

Then i came back and have been having a break and working on my dissertation and holiday project since.

Any one for Butter?

Out of all the commercials this one stuck in my mind for way too long!

New York

So ive been in New York for nearly 6 weeks now, I love it! I have been working for Jennifer Garcia who is the curator of the WE-ARE-FAMILIA exhibition. I have been designing the catalogs that will be the selling tool to sell the artwork.



I have been to see a few artists while over here, also Agent 16 agency and most recently Avrett Free Ginsburg, the advertising agency. I have also been offered a work placement with Avrett Free Ginsburg for later in the year.

New honda ad.....

Shot by Erik van Wyk, and written by Wieden + Kennedy Amsterdam.

The ad shows a vast grid of Honda’s new Insight model parked in the desert. The Insight is, the voiceover tells us, Honda’s new, “affordable hybrid” car. In the spot, each of the cars’ headlights act as pixels to perform an animated sequence.

Funny signs

SONY BRAVIA launch

Fallon launched the new sony bravia ad yesterday. The focus being the Bravia-drome (the worlds biggest ever zoetrope.)




The new spot follows Fallon’s earlier ‘Colour like no other’ campaign for Sony Bravia, which included the hugely successful Balls, Paint and Play Doh ads. The Bravia-drome spot moves away from colour to focus on motion, and the Bravia’s new Motionflow 200Hz technology which ensures a smoother picture than in conventional TVs.

To emphasise this smoothness, Fallon built an enormous zoetrope in Venaria, a town near Turin in northern Italy. The zoetrope has been causing a stir online for the last couple of months, with Sony posting films of it in action on YouTube while the ad was being created. The zoetrope presents a series of still images of the footballer Kaká, which when rotated (at speeds up to 50km per hour) and viewed through small slits on the outside of the zoetrope, give the illusion of being animated.

IT GOT BANNED

As amusing as it was to see this ad plastered everywhere....and after many close shaves in my car after trying to read the smaller print...its been banned!

BLYK 2 day workshop

On 27th and 28th November I was invited to YCN at their new HQ at Rivington Street. The two day workshop was hosted by YCN for the mobile phone compnay Blyk. There was a talk from Blyk's rep Marvin, then lots of brainstorming and interesting works with ballons and play-doe.

After presenting our work to Marvin and Simon on the 28th November, they askedi f all 6 of use would go to the Blyk headquarters and present our ideas to the chairman of the company. We had arranged this for Tuesday 2nd December. It was all really good feedback and hopefully some of our ideas will get used.
