PAST TASKS/PROJECTS
( The following tasks have not been used by any of the brands or companies mentioned. The projects completed were purely for experience and leisure given from past 2nd stage interviews.
MR BIGGS VS PUMA VS BEAR
‘’ Robert Biggs was enjoying a hike in north California, when he spotted a mother bear with a cub. He took a few moments to take in the sight, before he turned to leave. Only, nature wasn’t finished with him just yet. A mountain lion jumped onto Mr. Biggs’ back which caused him to collapse onto his knees. He then struck the lion on the head with a rock pick as he fought for his life. Then his hero intervened. The bear that Mr. Biggs was watching earlier, grabbed the lion and pulled it away from Mr. Biggs. The two large animals began to grapple. Only for the lion to wriggle out of the bear’s grasp and run away to fight hikers another day. Mr. Biggs did get some nasty cuts thanks to the lion, but without mamma bear around, it could’ve been much worse.’’
BRIEF:
The following design will be used as a thumbnail for Be Amazed Media YouTube channel. The task is to depict the story above as a scene photoshopped using photographs, so that it looks like a real scene using pictures online or created by yourself to make this image.
- The composition/canvas size must be 1280x720.
- The scene must be believable and should avoid looking fake so lighting and choosing correct images must be considered.
- Clarity, the viewer should be able to clearly make out what the thumbnail is depicting even when
the thumbnail is shown on a small phone screen. consider using a background that isn’t too cluttered.
IDEA/EXECUTION:
In order to craft the image, I incorporated six distinct images sourced from Freepik to effectively depict a scenario in which a bear frightens off a cougar following an altercation involving Mr. Biggs. These images were arranged in a left-to-right composition, with each element strategically layered in front of one another. The realistic aesthetic was achieved through the utilization of Photoshop, where missing details such as fur, grass, right-facing pupils, and blood stains for the puma and bear were meticulously added. Furthermore, After Effects was employed to produce a 3D animation for the two-dimensional photograph, serving as an additional feature to enhance the overall depiction of the scene.
LEWIS CAPALDI'S SEXY PIZZA
BRIEF:
Big Sexy Pizza is a frozen food brand by Lewis Capaldi, the task is to create an animated asset for April fools day for their Instagram page. As an outlandish brand, they want to do something memorable. They would also like the asset to be very lightly animated. The task is to digest information about the brand + their creative style & then create a 1:1 asset based on your idea.
KEY WORDS:
FUN, MODERN, SEXY, PLAYFUL, FRIENDLY
IDEA/EXECUTION:
​I was inspired by the past pranks of food chain brands through their absurd or even ironic ideas. Simple, but memorable. I researched his manifesto for the brand and his general favourite foods. I came across an article that said Capaldi is no longer vegetarian, and following his post on his weight gain from his favourite food/ hatred for veggies or fruit, I thought of a product he might like. And find funny.
The singer being from Scotland, pizza is often eaten deep fried with added meatless carbs such as batter and chips. which became the perfect vegetarian option to add as third pizza flavour. a Lewis Capaldi vegetarian option. Inspired by Scotland's favourites.
The colour scheme
( green and yellow) was inspired by veggie school dinners with green trays that was often associated with mac and cheese/ chips
