This is my main character. I decided on a cartoon-like style but I still wanted it to look real. I will be vectorizing photographs and drawing what i have to.

Animation in Commercials
GEICO
This Geico commercial seems to be stop motion. The guinea
pigs look very real so I am assuming that they are, or maybe they are really
good models. Although Geico is selling insurance, they rarely ever speak about
the features of their plans. Instead they focus on how they help you to save
money. The entire thing is really funny because the idea is completely ridiculous.
The humor is further accented by the on screen narrator who is talking in a
very serious voice. Although it is funny it still works because their
characters are very endearing.
KIT KAT
I would say that this is a 3d simulation. There was no audio
per se and it was very long. Kit Kat is for everyone, but it appears that they
were trying to target the working man (or woman) as if to say when you are
stressed at work, have a Kit Kat. I really felt like it was overdone and it dragged
on too long so I would say it failed.
SPRINT
This ad is really simple but still beautiful. This is
definitely stop motion, but there is also some computer-generated graphics in
there. Here they are advertising their mobile network with particular emphasis
on its speed. The graphics were moving really quickly so I guess that’s how
they conveyed that. The narrator’s voice is a bit dull though.
EVIAN
I really liked this because it was upbeat and funky. The
target audience here is definitely a very young demographic because little children
are singing and the graphics are also very juvenile. However their slogan is “live
young” so I may be mistaken. Beautiful 2d animation, it is very cute.
FANTA
This 3d animated commercial is full of color and vibrancy so
it is immediately eye-catching. Because of the street setting and the cool, hip
people I would say they are trying to appeal to teenagers and young adults. They
also keep the product very visible so the branding is effective, and the music
is nice and up tempo so it grabs you attention.

This is definitely a work in progress but this is more or less what I have in mind. I like the idea of the outside being black because I think it would look stylish on glossy paper. As for the inside, I decided to put the center page red just to add some variation. The pictures I found online of course because I do not actually have a product so I had to source pictures.

So.. I have a few problems with the document setup- I dont see the borders for the document. The text box is visible and I dont know how to remove it but this is basically the finished product.
This is my second version. I still have not decided which one I want to us but this one actually has the right layouts and settings on it.

QUESTIONNAIRE
1) What
is your business?
We are in the business of love! Everyone hopes and
prays that they will meet their soul mate, and now we make it easy.
2) Describe
your business in one sentence.
Our gadgets help you find love by telling you when
someone’s right for you so you don’t have to fall for the wrong one and wind up
lonely and heart- broken.
3) Who
is your target audience?
We cater to men and women of all ages. You’re never
too old to fall in love.
4) Who
are your competitors?
There are many dating sites and apps
available. Some of the biggest ones are Match.com and E harmony. There is also
a love calculator.
5) What
makes them better/worse than your product/service?
My product has an advantage over any
other existing product because it achieves the impossible. Unlike dating sites
which simply match persons based on common interests, my product can actually
tell if someone is seriously right for you. Of course this is a completely
fantastical idea because the product itself can never work in real life.
8) How
do you want your image to be seen in two years?
I would definitely want my company
to have the reputation of creating long-lasting bonds and relationships.
9) If
your company was an animal, what animal would it be and why?
It would definitely be a pair of
lovebirds, for obvious reasons. I don’t think any other animal exemplifies love
like they do.
10) If
your company/brand was a person, who would it be and why?
I would choose Taylor Swift because
she is young and dreamy; she looks like the hopeless romantic type. I believe
that she has a good image and most people would be able to identify with her
and as such develop trust in my brand.
11) If
your company/brand was an object, what would it be?
It would be a heart because nothing
symbolizes love better.
12) If
your customer was a cartoon character, who would it be?
I would choose Beauty and the Beast.
This cartoon was the ultimate love story of people of all ages will be able to
relate and connect with the story.
