United Nations : Student Work from Miami Ad School

Advertised brand: United Nations
Advert title(s): Razzle Dazzle
Advertising School: Miami Ad School San Francisco
Art Director: Aarti Thamma

According to Statista, as of May 2020, around 30 countries across the world reported ongoing armed clashes between state forces & or rebels. The world is at war, with many innocent lives lost, families separated & displaced. But in better parts of the world, where people have only heard of war as a thing of the past or something that happens in other places, war is often forgotten, ignored, or even covered up by the media that focuses on shiny things.
Because, if something doesn’t happen in front of our eyes or to us, we forget that it exists.
It is important for the world to come together to stop the war, create homes for those who have suffered, and rebuild society without differences. Therefore, we introduce this poster, Razzle Dazzle.

The Razzle Dazzle is a concept that derives from the dazzle camouflage design concept that was introduced during World War to disguise warships during battle. We take this concept that was used during the great war and create awareness about the war that is currently happening.
The poster is a disguise. At its first look, it is a dazzling design that attracts the eye. But there is something hidden in the design which one will be able to see only when they are ready to see it. We encourage viewers to take a closer look, when they see it, they will see a number of warships hidden in the poster.

Sometimes, we choose to ignore conflict & those who are suffering from it, but it still exists, just camouflaged by the noise of the world.

SYNOPSIS

#MaskUp is an initiative to remind people that the global pandemic is far from over and why it is still imperative to wear a mask and step out. Marking the festival of colours or Holi in India, this campaign gently showcases examples of responsible citizens who have rightfully celebrated wearing masks and using dry colours.

Polar Electric by Monkey Wrench, Kolkata

Polar Electric is a 4-decade-old electronics brand that has been diversifying its range of home appliances with special emphasis on fans all across India. Powering ease and convenience, the brand takes a step further to instill a new wave of awareness in the air with its digital film.

Headline: Polar Electric brings social message forward – iss Holi, bura na bano!

While the popular act of celebrating with colours is cherished among friends and families, often this very act of smearing colours is extended to pets and stray animals as an act of teasing. Our four-legged friends are seen frantically harassed and afraid on this day. Adverse effects like blindness, skin allergies and respiratory disorders work no less than poison for them.
To impart the message of excluding pets and animals from Holi, Polar Electric decided to bring awareness in the air distinctly. The narrative gently communicates an important social message to children & young adults about respecting every being’s safety & not channelling our idea of a Holi celebration on to our furry friends.

Leo Burnett Israel and Samsung present: “Flight of the Bumblebee”

Nowadays you have to be alert, attentive, on the lookout. You’ve got to keep your phone at hand and be prepared to draw it out in an instant, because you never know what situation you will encounter that will warrant documenting.
It could be an elephant giving birth at the safari.
It could be a triple rainbow.
or it could be a traffic cop dancing in the middle of a busy street intersection.
At those moments, it is crucial you be able to operate and access the right camera features on your mobile at lightning speed because that may just determine whether your footage becomes the next big video sensation and ends up conquering the web.
That’s why for the launch of the new Galaxy S21 series with its advanced photography and video capturing features, we brought the story of a bumblebee that surprises a Dad making him do all kinds of goofy stuff you wouldn’t want to miss capturing. So while Dad is seen dancing to the tune of the bumblebee, his kids pull out their devices and document the moment, each using a different feature of the phone.
