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.

Mayor : Spec Work By Miami Ad School

Touristification of a locale may seem beneficial but locals may not always agree with this idea. Apart from the obvious economic upside, it brings a lot more issues in the city like crowds, pollution, an increase in rates of commodities, etc. All this leads to friction between tourists and locals. To ease this friction, Niantic developed ‘Mayor’. It is an application that caters to both locals and tourists. The locals recommend their favorite spots and activities to tourists. Tourists can vote for these recommendations. Each month the local with the most votes gets to be the virtual mayor of the city. Being the mayor brings a lot of perks such as discounts, free parking, and the like. With Mayor, locals get a new way to enjoy the touristification of their city.

Nest Safe Sleeve by Miami Ad School

Title: Nest Safe Sleeve
School: Miami Ad School San Francisco
Art Director: Neha Biluve and Renny Eackelbary
Copywriter: Hatem El Akad, Amber Jolley and Prasiddha Thiyagarajan

Description:

Owning a firearm in the United States is a fundamental right.

And over 43% of the U.S. population owns at least one firearm to feel safe and protected.

Despite the many laws in place regulating gun ownership, violent crimes continue to rise.

That’s because 79% of violent acts involve a stolen firearm.

What’s more alarming is that the shooters are taking guns from their friends and family members.

It’s time for legal gun owners to feel safe and protected with their firearms.

Ted Pedro : In Conversation With An Advertising Creative

Why are you into Advertising?
I kind of fell into it. I originally was using my design skills for my streetwear brand I started with a few friends. It was my brother who was in advertising where he would tell me more about what he was working on everyday that got me more interested. I applied the few tips he told me to implement into my brand. I enjoyed thinking and making in advertising so then I decided to take the jump and pursue it.

Did you attend school for fine art or design or Communications?
I studied Graphic Design at SAIT in Calgary. Then moved to Toronto to go to Miami Ad School.

Tell us about your awards? How has that helped your career.
It does help you stand out above the rest. I’ve won a few awards at big shows like D&AD, One Show and Clios. They for sure helped out to get me noticed while applying for jobs. I also just like the competition aspect of it, it always leads to great work.

Connect4Climate : Tackling Fashion Industry’s Carbon Emissions

The brief of the project was to empower meaningful behavioural change towards a sustainable lifestyle among the 16-25 yer olds with the help of Connect4Climate.

The area I focused on was how fast fashion is a growing concern and to merely be a part of a social lifestyle, our consumption patterns have caused an unprecedented situation. 16-25-year-olds today want to look new every day, wearing the latest trends, uploading a photograph on Instagram tagged with #OOTD (outfit of the day). All of this has not only led to increased consumption of fast fashion but also a huge wastage, degrading the environment.
Instagram filters and stickers are a part of our everyday living now. #ReOOTD is a campaign to encourage Gen Z to reduce their consumption patterns by involving them in an activation campaign whereby they use the Rewear Challenge filter, challenging them to rewear an item of clothing everyday in the month of December. The challenge however is started by fashion bloggers increasing the awareness of the campaign. The campaign also includes animated stickers that people can use to make their stories interesting. This campaign was also taken live and done on a small scale.

This project won the D&AD New Blood Awards 2020 and The Wood Pencil.
