Meet Angus, the Toy Tester Robot

This is Angus. Hello!
Angus is a cute toy testing robot that lives in the fantasy world.

Our fantastic Poked Studio designed him for the latest Argos Christmas Adverts.

Poked’s 2D and 3D designs were used as reference to create the animated advert, which will be played on CITV over the Christmas period.

So, keep a look out!

Let’s start with something… a bit CHEESY!

Ritz6-helmet2-small

This campaign is live across the US at the moment!
Neil Duerden created this as a major style shift for Kraft to link their cracker-like products with the Super Bowl.
As you can see, the final version was a clear and precise execution of the brief (unlike Neil’s usual work, created to a depth of illustration seldom seen)… cheesetastic!

Different for Better’s Sake

RENAULT AD

Publicis London recently approached Alison Carmichael to help out with their new Poster Campaign for the new Renault Megane.

Alison worked closely with the Art director and Design department at the Agency to develp a ‘blueprint’ style of lettering which reflected the styling details on the car – she also illustrated the little architectural details on the layout and generally made the whole thing go with a va-va-voom.

AAH! A YETI!

There is! Seriously!

Skoda’s latest machine to rev out of their factory doors is called Yeti.  Archibald Ingall Stretton are in charge of their digital marketing and approached us a few weeks ago with a brief: The Yeti needed a more picture-book feel, in order to appeal to Mum’s.

Our Karen Cheung was perfect for the task!  She drew various illustrative parts and hand-painted them before sending them to AIS’s digital department for a breath of life.  There will be 3 pop-up-book-like digital banner campaigns featuring Karen’s fantastic artwork.

We’re excited to reveal the first has just gone live – go to: http://www.whatcar.com/Search/yeti/ and pull on the tabs!

Pizza Express – Lettering in Dough!

Pizza Express_blog

jelly hello!

October has seen Pizza Express throw some fantastic deals at their customers; and displayed some rather tasty artwork by Alison Carmichael.

Work Club approached Alison a few months ago with the idea for dough lettering.  jelly worked along side Pizza Express’s very own “Dough Master” to shoot a very large batch of dough with Alison’s letters cut out…

jelly soon realised that this wasn’t the way forward, and another shoot was organised with a real Pizza Express Chef – and the lettering was re-touched later.

If you’d like to see the version online – and of course, get some cheap pizza deals! – go to www.pizzaexpress-offers.co.uk

Acer receives the Brand Nu treatment

Acer Family main_blog

jelly hello!

Our fantastic Brand Nu recently provided his artistic touch to Acer laptops. His illustrations were used on a 20-page supplement in the September Windows Now Magazine.

“I had open reign how to interpret the brief, which resulted in mixture of photography, handrawn and simple vectors to emphasise the perspective and user stories. The work was very enjoyable, it gave me a platform to try yet again to push the trademark ‘Brand Nu’ style in different direction”.

You can see more on his blog here!

Work Spotting: Samsung in the Shortlist!

neil-duerden_samsung-blog

Good Morning!

We were really excited to see our latest artwork by Neil Duerden in the Shortlist magazine this morning.

The Freedom campaign for latest Samsung X-Series laptop was directed by our friend Kelly Sands at Beattie McGuinness Bungay. Neil was asked to illustrate and express the freedom of having 9 hours of battery life on the laptop; we think he did a fantastic job!

Click on the image for a larger size – or, if you grabbed a Shortlist on your journey this morning, check it out in it’s full glory!

The Dollop of Life

CHICKEN NEW 2

Not so long ago, the London agency Krow approached jelly and Alison Carmichael to come up with some squidgy, creamy type for the new Hellman’s print campaign.

Alison created all the headlines by hand and then collaborated with jelly’s in-house digital type gurus to create a font for the body copy of the Ad, that could be easily amended and used for future work.

The final result… some really yummy-looking adverts. Nom Nom!

Commerical real estate never looked so good!

Unknown

Earlier this year we told you about our artwork featuring in the Business Superbrands Annual 2009.

For a while we were a little worried that our fantastic  green illustrations would never see a superbrand again… but luckily, “recession” doesn’t appear to be a word in CBRE’s dictionaries.

A few months ago our Tony Wilson and the jelly house team were back to illustrate the most recent advertising for the real-estate giant.

The various flat-colour and photo-realistic illustrations are featuring on their printed advertising material all over the place, so keep an eye out!!
