Chlamydia Advertising

I have notice more and more there is some great adverts out there making people more aware of the STI Chlamydia.

The advertising is created in a way to grab the younger audience, i think this is very well done and hopeful will make young people realise it is a serious infection.

Below are a few of the posters made to create awareness about Chlamydia:

Dave Sedgwick Lecture

I attended a lecture by Dave Sedgwick on 29th October 2009.
Dave currently works for design company 999
Dave started off his design career by attending a D&AD course at Manchester Met. University, he then went on to complete two placements: one at Flux Magazine and then one at Splinter in Liverpool. He enjoyed both placements however preferred the placement at Splinter.
Dave's whole lecture was to take us through his design career and give us as many useful tips that he could along the way. One his most useful tips i felt he gave us was to make sure we research the companies where you have been offered a placement. You will complete many different placements in your design career, some you will love and some you will hate, this is just part of the process of finding out which type of company you would prefer to work for.

After the placements above Dave was then offered a 2 week placement with Dinosaur. He was paid £65 for the 2weeks. Once completed the placement, Dave carried on visiting various design agencies, Dave then went on to bag a placement at Love which he then got offered a job there. He explained he found it a lot easier to get the placement at Love, now he wasn't a student, agencies would agree to talk to him. Unfortunately he then got made redundant, and went on to be a freelance designer for a few months.

Dave was then offered a job at RACE, he explained he did everything from tea making at race.
Dave then went on to work at Bruntwood for a few years.
In 2006, Dave then joined 999 design in Manchester, which was funny for Dave as he had actually gone to see 999 when he ad graduated and had not been offered a job.

Of all the lectures i have attended i would like to say that Dave's has probably been the most useful to me, as he seems to have gone through a lot of the same problems as i do, e.g not getting email replies and no-one wanting to talk to you because your a student!

Below are a few examples of Dave's work he has created over the years:

Russell Howards Good News

From watchin Russell Howards Good News, i have really become to like the opening sequence of the show. I think the way he starts the show off is very unique, there are not many shows like this anymore, they all seem to be digitally based and very simple. I like how he has used cardboard cut outs and used them throughout the opeining.

 

 Screen grab of the title of the show. I like how the text is hand drawn and sketched, rather than just digitally produced. 

View the video of the opening sequence:

Vision Express - 'Expertise' Advert

This is the new Vision Express advert. I saw it on TV the other day. I think its cleverly made as each 'eyeball' is moving to make a particular pattern. I think its a clever idea using large eyeballs on each person's head.

View video below:

Santander Lego Advert

I really love this advert as it uses Lego to make a bridge. It again has very good use of computer graphics to make the bridge being built look real and believable. I think this is also a great advert for kids as it includes a toy most kids are familiar with.

Honda Civic 'Everything' Advert

Recently noticed this advert being played on the tv advertising the new Honda Civic.
I really like the way the camera has been split up into different sections throughout the advert so it shows the same part of a different car. It is clever use of the camera to promote this advert.
I personally don't like the new Honda Civics, however I love the advert.
