HIV charities & advertising approach

2010-10-28T23:07:00.014+01:00

New advert for The Topsy Foundation by Ogilvy Johannesburg who had this to say:

"Working together with Topsy, we located Selinah when she was in the very advanced stages of AIDS. We started her on treatment and filmed her every day for 90 days. The transformation is absolutely real. We used no special techniques and tricks in post production. Selinah was brought back to life purely by ARV’s and her will to live."

morph london animation attempt

2010-06-22T14:56:00.001+01:00

I tried to make an animation for a morph london competition. Morph london is a advertising agency that ran a competition to design a 12 second ident for their logo, which looks a bit like the sculpture above. My idea was to take 60 photos of the clay sculpture as I slowly messed it up into a ball of sloppy clay. I would then edit the photos in back to front order 6 frames per second and jazz it up slightly on after effects so that the logo morphed out of a sloppy mess. I couldnt complete it in time because the clay was impossible to work with (damn gravity) and I had to go to D&AD the next day. Oh well, it was a nice idea.

Garlic & Sapphires Book Cover

2010-05-01T18:30:00.008+01:00

The front cover of a book I edited called 'Garlic and Sapphires' (to be published through 'Blurb.com'). The cover is composed of small triangular details of each illustration inside. The book is 128 pages long and showcases the outcomes of a series of collaborative projects between Edinburgh College of Art's Illustration department and Edinburgh University's creative writers. In total there are 49 pieces of creative writing paired with 49 illustrations (I have two illustrations in it). Editing it has been a grueling process but it looks fantastic now its finished and it is available to buy online at Blurb.com.

Sketch of British Museum's crowned head sculpture

2010-04-09T18:26:00.001+01:00

A sketch, on a piece of lino, of a piece of sculpture I saw when I visited the British Museum, to see the 'Kingdom of Ife' exhibition. The piece of sculpture is called, 'Crowned head', from the Wunmonije Compound, Ife, Nigeria, (Yoruba) made between 12th- 14th century C.E., made of copper alloy, 35cm tall. The piece actually has holes pierced through the copper around the mouth and jawline, where it is said that hair would have originally put through, so that the head would have facial hair. I like this idea and wanted to see what the sculpture would look like with a beard.

My entry into a d&ad competition, sponsored by 'don't panic', on the theme of 'Resistance'. The poster deals with themes of globalisation and global communication, and the implications of these relatively new developments. With this poster I hope to spark some kind of dialogue; Will global communication stay free and autonomous? Should attempts to monitor and control the world wide web be resisted? If so, by whom?

Recently, my eye has been caught by:

2009-10-04T11:00:00.000+01:00

This is the logo for the 'forest cafe'. It has recently been painted onto the pavement just a few yards away from the place. I've always liked the forest cafe logo, its wacky, home-made feel suits the organisation perfectly.

Great packaging from 'Pringles', simple idea, really funny.

This is the first time I have seen a bin liner being branded, and it looks good. It reads, 'THE GREEN SACK. Made in Britain from recycled UK farm plastics'.

Some guerilla advertising by 'Motorola', using a technique pioneered by the street artist Moose whereby the surface is cleaned to make a mark. 'Persil' was one of the first brands to employ this ambient medium and they did it well, and it suited the brand perfectly (ie. cleaning), now tons of brands are using this technique for their advertising (probably because the space is free) and a whole advertising company based around this medium has emerged (see www.dirtystreetadvertising.com). Not actually a very good advert by Motorola as it's really vague- even putting a web address below could have helped.

Shoe research- The five minute pack

2009-10-02T16:56:00.008+01:00

The 'five minute pack'
a pack of postcards designed by Viktor A and I. The postcards are to be completed by random members of the public. The pack acts as research into how people visualise attaching human emotions onto inanimate objects, in this case shoes. The picture above is what would be printed onto the front of the postcard.

Above are four versions of the kind of thing that would be printed on the back of the postcard. Each one attaches an emotion to the shoe; emotionally unstable, sociopathic, clingy or soulless and presents some kind of object to get the ball rolling.

We also made one for kids. The front would be either blue or pink (boys/girls) and carry the joke, the back would be for them to draw on, hopefully we would get a quick laugh and an incredibly imaginative scribble out of them.

4 Archetypes of year 8

2008-11-09T22:09:00.002Z

this is a short video i made intended to be looped. it was to accompany a presentation of four archetypes. the four archetypes represented a class of children in a Danish school. we were interviewing them in order to learn about their routine and eating habits for the pharmaceutical company, 'Novo Nordisk'. i sliced and recycled all the footage in after effects.

ayer

2008-09-03T10:15:00.002+01:00

The first piece of work ive done for the Danmarks Designskole. a one day project called 'manana' to choose any spanish word and illustrate it using everyday objects. Because the title of the brief was 'manana' (english- 'tomorrow'- the deadline was 13.00 the following day) i thought it would be funny to illustrate the word ayer- 'yesterday' with that days news, because by the time i presented the piece, it would have been made with yesterdays news. At the bottom-right corner is the date from the front page of the newspaper, it reads, 'TIRSDAG 2 SEPTEMBER 2008- 8 ARGANG- UGE 36- NR. 150'.
