ADC Portfolio Night 5 part Series!
It's amazing to see the ADC play with reality TV formats to inspire the next generation of talent, through a collaboration with Ford, Adobe and the ADC. Way to connect the next generation of talent, and provoke them, and elevate the the craft or creating ideas and presenting them to clients. Way to go ADC!
EPISODE ONE
Let the games begin! The 23 All-Stars have arrived at the ADC Gallery in New York, from every participating Portfolio Night city around the globe. They've checked into their hotel rooms, and are ready to crack open the creative brief for a week-long challenge with Ford.
Day 1 begins with an inspiring talk from Amir Kassaei, Chief Creative Officer of DDB Worldwide, as well as a briefing from Team Detroit, Ford's agency of record.
The challenge: rethink the Ford Focus, making it more than just an A-to-B vehicle. How will the All-Stars tackle this brief, overcoming language barriers and creative differences along the way?

EPISODE TWO
It's Day Two of Portfolio Night All-Stars, and the six teams are really starting to get into a groove — as well as into their impressive swag bags!
Following a spirited guest presentation by Natalie Lam, Executive Creative Director of McCann Erickson, the 23 All-Stars went on a field trip to a Manhattan Ford dealership, where they got to kick the tires on some brand new Focuses and experience the car firsthand. This outing forced the All-Stars to readjust their early thoughts, opinions and campaign ideas, and when they returned to the ADC Gallery, they were excited to get back to work, even if that meant starting from square one.

EPISODE THREE
It's Day Three of Portfolio Night All-Stars, the halfway point of the international creative adventure!
The day begins with a very insightful lesson by Benjamin Palmer, Founder of the Barbarian Group and ADC Board President... but are the teams too far along their paths to take those lessons to heart? Watch as fantastic ideas lose their lustre once presented to resident Ford expert Curtis Melville. Is there enough time to go back to the drawing board? The six All-Star teams will have to if they stand a chance of victory.

EPISODE FOUR
EPISODE FIVE
This is it! The final day of ADC's Portfolio Night All-Stars! The time for brainstorming concepts, for crafting executions is now over. In the few hours that remain, the six All-Stars teams must now concentrate on their pitches, which will be presented in front of real Ford representatives. After all, it's one thing to have a great idea, but it's an entirely different thing to be able to sell it.
Everybody appears confident, and everybody will leave New York with an experience that will jumpstart their careers, but only one team can be victorious. Who will it be? Torino? Marauder? Maverick? Mondeo? Grenada? Falcon? It all ends here!

This is the demo of the projection mapping and content for the launch of the volkswagen golf at the New York International AutoShow, this year. It's a lot of fun, makes me wish cars had led skins.
The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf debuts at New York International Auto Show making its first appearance in the United States with an exciting light show revisiting previous Golf generations. The latest version of the Golf is bigger, more spacious, lighter, and more fuel-efficient.
PL01 Concept Tank
Polish landforces could be driving these some time soon. It seems to have borrowed ab it from from the tanks in Tron, or maybe not?
These patrol tanks were created by Kevin Flynn, of Encom, for the video game, Space Paranoids. Unfortunately his work was stolen by Ed Dillinger then annexed by the Master Control program. Now they serve in a virtual world ruled by the MPC where they hunt down renegade programs. The tanks were featured in the 1982 movie Tron.

Fashion lookbooks can be boring.
THIS LOOKBOOK IS A SUPPORTING MATERIAL FOR DORI TOMCSANYI'S 2014/15 AUTUMN/WINTER CAMPAIGN. WE THOUGHT WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A TWIST IN THE DRY WORLD OF LOOKBOOKS.
ALL THE DRESSES OF THE COLLECTION ARE SHOT IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT POSITION, SO WHEN FLIPPING IT COMES TO MOTION AND GIVES THE VIEWER THE ILLUSION OF SKIING.
BUT IF THE VIEWER WANTS TO SEE THE CLOTHES SEPERATELY THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO GO THROUGH THE BOOK PAGE BY PAGE, LOOKING AT THE DRESSES SEPERATELY. IF THE BOOK IS OPENED, THE SAME LOOK IS VISIBLE FROM THE FRONT AND FROM THE BACK, ON THE TWO SIDES OF THE PAGES, THAT GIVES YOU A WIDER PICTURE OF THE LOOK.
THE IDEA OF THIS FLIP_LOOKBOOK HAS POPPED INTO DAPHNE'S HEAD YEARS AGO, BUT THIS WAS THE COLLECTION THAT ACTUALLY MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO FINALLY PRODUCE IT. THIS MAKES US EXTREMELY HAPPY, SO WE HOPE IT BRINGS JUST AS MUCH JOY FOR YOU AS IT DID FOR US!

I was invited to speak by the
New York Chapter of the Graphic Artists Guild,
at Pratt on Wednesday,
March 26th from 7 – 9pm.
It will be a panel discussion of Illustrators, Designers, Art Directors, Recruiters, and Artist Representatives.
Since 2010 my partner and I at JaegerSloan have been focused on keeping our company small, while delivering high quality work for a broad range of brands. This has required healthy collaborations with other small companies and independent contractors. We bring in specialists to expand our capabilities and increase the volume of work that we can take on while keeping our overhead costs consistent. Working this way gives us the freedom to turn down work that isn't appropriate, and invest in projects that we really want to support.
At this panel discussion, we will be prepared to talk about:
- How technology has transformed how we find, engage, and collaborate with talent.
- How the market is changing for marketing, art direction, digital design, illustration, and technology.
- How to identify and build relationships with the talent you need to make great work happen.

Gif89a Banner Ads from the late 90's
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of hanging out with the team that I worked with in 1997, at a company called k2 Design Inc. The firm quickly grew from 30 to nearly 100 people while I was there. Because it was so new, and there was so much innovation, the whole thing was sort of exciting an frustrating at the same time.
One area that was growing, was digitaldisplay advertising, or online banner ads. The most economical way of producing and distributing display ads continues to be the animated gif, or GIF89a. When I was an intern at Agency.com I completed a research project on the GIF, in order to understand animation, compression, and palettes.
When I started working as an Art Director out of school in (1997-1998), one of the biggest challenges was translating brand advertising into the paid media formats of the time. The file size limits were closely controlled as not to ruin the user experience. So 468x60 banners had to be under 12k, sometimes if you were lucky you could get 15k. Below are some tests that I did to demonstrate some ideas.
3 frames / 10k / 9 colors – Fire
6 frames / 11k / 13 colors - Random Attention getting banner.
9 frames / 12k / 32 Colors- VolksWagen
10 frames / 11k / 16 colors - Mitsubishi Motors
132 frames / 10k / 16 colors - Financial Services

Proto.io = great cloudbased prototyping.
I have been looking for a product that would help me turn my ideas into working prototypes. My partner Kristin Sloan found Proto.io, which we compared against Moqups.com So far I have been really happy with how proto.io handles itself.. it took a bit of time to understand the relationship between elements, but now that I have a working knowledge, it's getting fast...
