BrandNewSchool recently finished this first spot from advertising agency Arnold’s new Jack Daniel’s “Label Story” campaign … I love the design and transitions. Watch in full HD.

Vincent directors (represented by Not To Scale) were commissioned by MTV’s World Design Studio’s Carlos Carrasco and Anna Caregnato to design MTV’s end of year countdown. The package had to encompass 10 different programmes such as MTV’s biggest and best ‘Music Videos’ of the year to more quirky content like MTV TOP TEN ‘Stars with Multiple Talents’. MTV’s Art Director, Carlos Carrasco wanted the package to shout pop, but still be edgy and atmospheric. The tone was very much about being celebratory and at the same time visualising the idea that pop goes to battle and only the best reach the top.
Toledo-based artist UPSO, aka Dustin Amery Hostetler, known for his work on Mountain Dew, Burton, Kid Robot, Sims Snowboards and Converse, as well as publishing Faesthetic, created FUEL TV‘s latest Signature Series ID, inspired by signature skateboard decks created for skateboarders by influential or iconic artists.
The folks at Motionographer are hosting a salary survey for professionals in Motion Graphic Design, Animation, Visual Effects and Film-making, called the 2009 Motion Graphic Design Census. The online survey will be hosted at Motionographer for the month of December. We’ll then be publishing the results in 2010 and plan on continuing the survey as a yearly effort in order to track salary, rates, and other relevant issues.
Why spend the time to fill out the survey? One reason … If you’re a designer, you will have noticed that the AIGA has never truly identified and defined our field of work in it’s annual salary surveys. It has always classified positions as entry level designer, designer, senior designer, art director, creative/design director, owner/partner/principal and solo designer – positions geared towards its base of print-designers. This leaves out producers, animators, cg artists, storyboard artists, and quite a few other job types related to our industry. Other membership-based organizations like the Broadcast Designer’s Association or AICP also leave out whole segments of our colleagues, and do not make their information accessible to the public.
BT Vision approached ManvsMachine to design and animate their 2009 Christmas brand package for use across the on-demand television service, from stand alone idents through to navigational devices and print elements – which basically culminated in an abstract animated mass/mess of christmas fueled fun.
