Brief 5: Make a set of Siftables

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/david_merrill_demos_siftables_the_smart_blocks.html

We are swapping out the Charles Schwab project with Siftables. You will need to buy shop time at the Academy's tool shop so you can build your Siftable shells. Prototypes will be due March 11th. Of course, I am only joking with you. Thanks for sharing, Geoff-Jon

Assignment 4: Portfolio Site

All of you have been creating some really good work in this class. Now it's time to give it a place to live. Having an online portfolio will save you money, reduce paper cuts, and will make you stand out in front of creative directors.

Your site should tell a story about you as a creative person. Who is Jacob? Who is Drea or Shraven? How about Gunjan? Do you love books? Is it a digital book? Do you love cars so maybe it's a take-off on Grand Theft Auto? Is it a garage? Is it something about where you grew up? A map? Or is it a representation of your love for clean design? Look at the sites from my students last semester. Notice how each site has its own personality.

For Nick, his site is wrapped around the city he loves and calls home.

http://www.copyrightnickrodgers.com/

Good shows off his eye for clean design and layout. For him it's maybe more about the work featured on his site than the site itself.

http://mygoodkup.com

Dhruvi's first love is architecture. Her site is built around landscapes she drafted as an architecture student.

http://www.dhruvishah.com/

Deliverables:
5 unique site ideas that represent you as a person. Sketch as many pages for each idea as it takes in order to convey your concept. The more the better.

Your site can be either Flash or HTML. The above examples are actually just plain old HTML. I recommend this route because Flash sites are a pain in the ass to update.

Recommended software:
Adobe Dreamweaver

Shraven whips out the Sprint NOW Widget

Hey!
A great Microsite/Downloadable Widget from Sprint.
The “Plug into Now” page is a crazy quilt of feeds, some tapping live data and some based on graphical representations, including the world population, number of emails being sent, current national debt, a countdown to Doughnut Day and Google’s top searches.
The widget below will give you an idea:

The marketing of Coraline.

Here's a side story. I grew up in Portland. Coraline was built by an animation studio in Portland, Laika, that used to be called Will Vinton Studios. Vinton animated Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. Vinton is also known as the creator of the old PJ's TV Show and the famous California Raisins.

About 5 years ago Vinton Studios fell on hard times with Pixar kicking their asses. They just about closed down.

Enter Phil Knight, co-founder of Nike and a billionaire several times over. His son was working at Vinton as an animator. He convinced his Dad to buy the studio. He did. Then renamed it Laika.

Who did Laika and Phil Knight turn to when it came time to promote Coraline? Who else but the same people Knight turned to over 20 years ago who gave birth to Nike's brand and inspired generations to "Just Do It".

Wieden & Kennedy made everything from wild postings to limited edition Coraline Nike dunks to the site experience.

Coraline's world premiere was held in Portland earlier this month.

Check out this banner:

Assignment 3 1/2: YouTube Videos

Class, viral videos are still in their infancy in the ad biz. Few agencies have successfully achieved a breakthrough with this new medium. I myself have failed. User generated content is becoming a must have for most marketers. Everyone's attempting it. Now it's your turn.

Your mission is to shoot a viral video that you will post to YouTube.

But, it's not really a viral video until it's proven to be viral.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Shoot 3 separate videos.

2. Your videos can be about anything, and not necessarily an ad. But if you want to create an ad, go ahead. Pick a campaign from your portfolio and extend it to YouTube. Is it a street performer? Is it a stunt? Is it a commercial?

3. Bring in three different videos next week (2/24). We will pick the best one and post it to YouTube that night. Please create a YouTube account before next week's class if you don't have one.

The video with the most views by the end of class the following week 3/4/09 will win a special prize.

Some things to think about:

Go on YouTube and study the most popular/most viewed videos. What makes them popular? Inform yourself on what makes a popular viral video before shooting. Is there something you think is so funny that a million other people will enjoy it too? Is it local? Humor is a good place to start.

YOU COULD HAVE A GREAT VIDEO BUT THE NAME/TITLE YOU GIVE IT CAN MAKE IT BOMB.

Think long and hard about how you name your video. Be aware of people's search queries. If your video is about a leprechaun stripper, then it would be a good idea to name it that. Or some combination like "naked leprechaun". Also keep in mind that if the title is boring or uninteresting, nobody will bother clicking to watch it.

This ad really impressed me. The handshadow work is flawless and the theme is not what I expected. I couldn't find any 'cool' interactive stuff that goes along with it, but the ad is so good I thought I'd share..

This websites navigation is all over the place, but it somehow works for it. I had fun trying to find all the things you could do.

Thanks for sharing, Adriana. This is a site that one of my students shared last semester in November. It was worth pulling out of the archive. Everyone, I encourage you to browse the postings located inside the archive in the bottom right of this blog, starting in September 08. This way you can avoid sharing something that's been posted before. There's a lot of great work going back to September. -Jon

CALL TO ACTION (CTA)

Every single online ad you create must contain either a link or button that clicks through to a microsite, website, or some sort of landing experience.

This is called a CALL TO ACTION (CTA). It is exactly what it implies. It's a "call to click" through for more information about what you are selling in your ad.

In certain cases your Tagline can double as the CTA. It most cases it should. You should put as much thought into your CTA as you do your concept. A lot of creatives settle on "Learn More" and "Click Here". But that rather boring, don't you think?

Your CTA should only be on the final frame unless a lame client (Yahoo!) asks for the CTA to be up throughout your ad. Lame.

Below are examples of CTAs:

BMW
View the ad here:
http://www.bannerblog.com.au/2008/08/bmw_harp.php

Here the CTA is very direct prompting the user to "learn more" with an arrow or "Carrot" (Industry speak for arrow). For such a cool and fun ad, the CTA really let me down. Could they not have come up with something better than simply "Learn more". Exciting car. Boring CTA. How about ">Make some music" ?


Absolut Vodka
View ad here:
http://www.bannerblog.com.au/2006/01/absolut_freshness.php

Notice that the CTAs here are very simple. Either "REPLAY" or "VISIT SITE".


Xbox Live
View ad here:
http://jonclifton.tripod.com/xboxlive.html

This is a CTA I wrote for Xbox live. It doubles as a pay-off and tagline. It goes with the concept.
A lot more interesting than "Learn More".

STORYBOARDING FOR DIGITAL

Hey guys,

Now that your Chapstick concepts are getting somewhere I want to cover storyboarding. Below is an example of a storyboard for a campaign i worked on at Ogilvy. Front sketches to comps, this is how I want all of you to present your concepts from now on.

Descriptors: Under each frame is a "descriptor" where you explain how your ad works from frame to frame. Similar to a TV spot storyboard.

Number of frames: You should be able to tell your story in 5-6 frames. Maximum.

Numbering boards: In the top write (See example) please type the numbered order of your concepts. The first concept is "01", the second is "02", etc.

Naming: Next to the board number list the project name. For instance "Chapstick". Underneath that type the concept title.

Below are examples of how your boards should be layed-out according to banner size.

As always, please create one single PDF containing all of your concepts.

Flash Workshops

I want all of you to get internships and jobs someday. Having actual working interactive stuff will benefit you in more ways than you can fathom right now. But trust me. It's a competitive ad world out there. Developing your digital in Flash will make you stand out from the competition.

For those of you with very little Flash experience should attend the following workshops so you can keep up with your Flash savvy classmates. All of you are expected to come out of this class with working Flash ads. Storyboards only are a last resort because if it ain't moving then it might as well be a print ad. Feel me?

Go to Flash workshops. -Jon

Shravan digs up Digg Labs.

"This is what i found on Digg & people who dig digg! Also, its smart way of collecting and sharing data & statistics using innovative interactive methods.

Hope you like it.

- Shravan

Digg Labs:

Digg moves very quickly, and has a great many stories submitted every day, so good material can sometimes fly by before you even know it. By providing broader and deeper views of activity on the site, the tools and projects in Labs aim to help manage the stream of stories passing through Digg, and to better understand the patterns and trends generated by our fast-growing membership. These interactive visualizations look beneath the surface of the Digg community's activities. (*expert taken from the Digg blog)

Links:

1) Digg Arc displays stories, topics, and containers wrapped around a sphere. Arcs trail people as they Digg stories across topics. Stories with more Diggs make thicker arcs.

http://labs.digg.com/arc/

2) Digg BigSpy places stories at the top of the screen as they are dugg. As new stories are dugg, older stories move down the list. Bigger stories have more Diggs.

http://labs.digg.com/bigspy/

3) Digg Stack shows diggs occurring in real time on up to 100 stories at once. Diggers fall from above and stack up on popular stories. Brightly colored stories have more Diggs.

http://labs.digg.com/stack/

4) Digg Swarm draws a circle for stories as they're dugg. Diggers swarm around stories, and make them grow. Brightly colored stories have more Diggs.

Brief 2: California Academy of Sciences Microsite 2/4

The new California Academy of Sciences opened its doors in September after a half a billion dollar rejuvenation. I discovered it myself this past weekend and it's a truly amazing place to learn about the world in which we live. Highlights include the Living Roof, planetarium, aquarium, and tropical rain forest. And all under one roof!

Web site URL: http://www.calacademy.org/

Your mission, should you choose to accept it (you really don't have a choice) , is to create a microsite to drive people to see the new Academy for themselves.


Deliverables:
10 microsite concepts, each with a unique strategy. I want to see 1 rough snapshot (sketch) of each brilliant concept. Represent as much as you can in the sketch. Pretend I am a client and we are meeting for lunch. You have to communicate your idea with one sketch. Feel free to wire-frame the user experience or write down the details of the site underneath your sketch.

Place all concepts in a single PDF and save to your flash drive so you can present it on the big scree in class on 2/11.

Things to consider:
-Focus on one exhibit?
-Or do you create an experience around the entire museum?
-Choose a special event to showcase? Evolve featuring Darwin? Or maybe the NightLife event?

In general the best way to an award-winning idea is to do your research. I want all of you to visit the Academy of Sciences if you have not been. I want you to dig into it to find that insight. That one small grain that will blow people away online.

Learn more about what a microsite is below.

What is a microsite you may ask?

A microsite is basically a middle point between a print ad or banner and a main website. Think of it as an experience built around your concept.

For instance, Burger King came to Crispin, Porter & Bogusky (CPB) and said that they needed an ad campaign to promote their new chicken sandwich. That's how Subservient Chicken was born. Users are driven to subservientchicken.com by way of traffic drivers such as print and online ads. Users then can click through to Burger King's website for more info like menu, nutrition facts, to find a location, etc.

What's the difference between a microsite and a website?

Website is the online home for company. Examples include espn.com, comcast.com, and burgerking.com. They provide stuff such as company background info, products, a store locator, and boring things like job postings) Websites are not usually built or conceived by ad agencies.

Microsite is a vehicle to promote a specific offering from a company that links to the companies main website. Microsites are made by art directors and copywriters as part of an ad campaign.

Examples of microsites:

http://www.subservientchicken.com (promotes a chicken sandwich. Links to bk.com)
http://www.comeclean.com (promotes Method's cleansing products. Links to method.com)
http://www.kissmein3d.com/ (drives traffic to Crest.com)

Welcome to the Digital Presidency.

President Barrack Obama utilized technology and the Web like never before during his campaign and he didn't stop when he stepped inside The White House. Folks, this is exciting. We have the first digital savvy President. But what's the big deal about that? Well, for one, it makes for a more transparent government. Another is that we can all be a part of the new administration and have a direct line to President Obama. Every single one of us can see exactly what Obama is doing or saying at any given time. Oh, and did you hear Obama's keeping his Blackberry? Again, welcome to the Digital Presidency.

Take a look at the White House site. It's updated daily with the latest infromation from Obama's speech transcripts to behind the scenes accounts of life inside 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Welcome to the home shopping experience for the "tragically hip crowd". This site has been the topic of recent debate (http://adage.com/garfield/post?article_id=132589). Is it just a bunch of pretty people wasting perfectly good bandwidth? Is it maybe too new of an idea that it's making people uneasy? What do you guys think?-Jon
