Design for screen - T-mobile



the song gets stuck in your head but the advert its shocking to begin with as we expect the man to hit the ground hard and it gives a feeling of wonder and envy as you want to experience what it would be like if the world was that mouldable.

this video is from the same guys who made the coke and mentos routine which became one of the the worlds most popular viral adds, its simple and brilliant and really shows how you can take something relatively uninteresting and make it exciting and inspirational. This is the kind of aspect I would like my own work to have, using simplicity or simple things and doing something new with them or reinventing the capabilities and uses they already posses.

Design for screen - Illustrations 2

The Carphone Warehouse used a series of animations which used whiteboards and board pens which could quickly and easily rub out and adjust. Highly effective and easy to try out you just need patience.

design for screen - Xbox

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFQWSu9QWMc&feature=related

brilliant and quick advert for the Xbox 360 which took 3 years to make its no wonder the director on the making of video is a bit deranged. Its interesting that company which is selling computer animated video games is using a method to promote its products that doesn't involve computer animation, it in some sense broadens the horizons for the audience as to what the console in terms of entertainment as the advert is entertaining in itself to watch.

Design for screen - PES

PES make loads of quirky and almost pointless stop motion and moving image videos, they all seem to have a jokey attitude to them whilst remaining original and innovative.

Martin Creeds work i really simple and easy when you look at it and people may be quite dismissive with it but in its own right its show what can be down with the simplest, most basic idea. For example he sent a piece of A4 paper scrunched up into a ball to the Tate Modern and it became a work of art, so what would seem to be a piece of rubbish and a prank/piss take bit of mail has become something else much bigger its now given credit at the obvious idea however annoying people may find it.
