ABOUT

A D&AD Brief from channel four; to brand a channel for over 60’s. This was a real exciting brief and my first piece of moving image. People in this age range have been around long enough to spot every kind of corporate malarkey and are instantly repelled by it. The logo consists of four animated dots, which break up and then regroup to form a 4. I received a D&AD Best in Year award.
