Kentucky Fried Chicken

So Dave is a genius and comes up with Kentucky Fried Chicken and links me to http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com/ 

This is the perfect place to start for an anti-ad. Having enthused ideas of Coca Cola and its detrimental problems to the planet to McDonalds and it's ever growing publicity (and fan base's waist line) we settled that KFC is quite a dark horse.

Everyone is aware of it's cruelty to chickens, worldwide, yet incredibly everyone forgets (myself included). Why do we forget? When celebrities such as P!NK and Pamela Anderson drive PETA home like there's no tomorrow. I don't know. But our aim is to create the anti-ad that people will remember for its simplistic but real view and humorous (though possibly sadistic) animation.

"Can't BEAT that taste" - credit to Dave Jamieson again.

WHO has an american accent? AND/OR knows of someone with an american accent?

We want this effect speech.. informative/advertising/calm. Obviously contrasting with our message.


We've been looking into typography and animation in figures. So keep your eyes out for any updates on the creation/drawing side because they'll be going up on here too.


So here we come... 2 minute long anti advertisement on KFC.
Get KFC. Get Real.

Takes you back to the pokemon days! Relatively simple to create... time consuming I imagine. But mainly After Effects rotating and stroke tool can be used for moving lines, or even just create those as a separate layer aspect in Photoshop.
I assume the video footage at the end is similar to what we created with the blue screen... obviously without the blue screen and just transferred into After Effects as footage.

Anti Ad

An anti-ipod ad from vimeo. Uploaded... by me, because the idea of anti advertising is crucial to our work. What we will anti advertise is a mystery. But, in the mean time, can we create this with the video footage skills we learnt in class today? I would say so. Yay for self improvement via after effect skillzzzz.

Design Research

-Different to the "Enjoi" label but so similar. So well known it is not mixed up.

-Great reason behind a simple logo.

-No colour so no difficulty in printing or screening anywhere.



My first inspiration idea for printed typography and font.

-Fun, almost childish.

-Freedom to create anything you like for any letter.

-Not practical for large amounts of text. More suitable for titles.

More suitable for large bodies of text.

-The swirls can be extended or contracted in order to fit in with the overall body of text.

-The colours are eyecatching against a black background.

-The colours distract from the point that the text is actually very basic and simple.

-Women obviously being  the most prominent.
-Clouds suggesting danger to come.
-Surrealism.

I was browsing when I found this. I felt compelled to watch the whole thing. Sadistic but looks like incredible fun to make.
