Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Information for the business: We are a product design consultancy, www.idc.uk.com
Design details: Project Requirements:
· A short animated GIF Christmas card, which will be emailed out to clients.
· It will be approximately 15 seconds long and will be mainly graphical with just a couple of lines of text saying ‘Merry Christmas from all at IDC’ (IDC would be a logo, rather than text). Size-wise we'd like to keep it under 1mb if possible.
· As we are a product design consultancy, which sketches out concepts and develops them through to the final product, we quite like the idea of sketching a picture and building it up to form a final image. We were thinking about something quite simple like a Christmas tree being sketched in a winter scene that could be built up with colours and then finally a few twinkling white lights added, followed by our Christmas message at the end saying ‘Merry Christmas from all at IDC’. In terms of colours, it could be a dark blue night scene or even snow. Our logo is grey and plum in colour, alternatively we could supply a white version to suit. This is just a suggestion though, you might have better ideas! The main thing is it needs to look tasteful and professional and not comical.
· The first frame of the GIF needs to have a message on it to say ‘Click here to see IDC’s Christmas card’ on a suitable background to coordinate with the main card. This is for the Outlook users, where the GIF doesn’t run automatically in their mailboxes, and we’ll link the GIF to a page on our website.
· Time-wise we would like to have it ready by early November, as we also have an office in Shanghai and they made need a Chinese version producing too.
Take a look at the attached GIF which is a good example of one that we did a couple of years ago and uses the idea of sketching building up into a final image. Last year we also did a video style card, which included a 3D printed snowflake (which suited IDC as we have a prototyping department for the product developments) – there’s a copy here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a_DRE5GhvM.
If this sounds like a job you'd like to do, please provide a quote and let me know what you think you could do creatively.
Target audience: Our clients, contacts and potential customers
Ideas for the visual style: See design details...
