Hasta La Motion!

The Study of Human Being, the design elements used in the 2016 Dentsu Advertising Awards, has been awarded a Gold Clio at the 2017 Clio Awards. The Dentsu Advertising Awards is the most prestigious advertising award in Japan. Five posters feature crowds of people, in various configurations and levels of proximity. The images were used in an installation at the Awards, as well as in the awards year book, the rule book and promotional material. “Great advertisement only comes from acute observations of human being: its behavior and the deep understanding of psychology. This universal value never changes with the times, however the modes of advertising become more varied and ambitious.”
