Enjoy the “Best of” work below:
Best of Show: The Many Layers of Advantage Multi
Advantage Multi® protects dogs and cats from a variety of nasty parasites. So on the surface, this product doesn’t just have a story to tell – it has several. But in truth, the magic lies not in any individual benefit, but in the depth of protection created when they all come together. We created this campaign’s unique papercraft look to reflect the idea of layered protection. In addition, this visual system provides flexibility to tell a variety of parasite stories, a vibrant palette that slices through the clutter and a friendly voice that engages veterinary pros and pet owners alike.
Best of Interactive: Signal Theory Holiday Coaster Collection AR
A collection of custom coasters whose design was inspired by common forms of nonverbal communication.
Best of Show – Student: Susan B’s Packaging
Susan B’s is a packaging and branding project for a vegetarian eatery that is patriotic, whimsical and New York-esque. All three characteristics had to be present in the branding.
