<p><strong>Client:</strong> University</p>
<p><strong>Brief:</strong> Produce an emotional response to Mon Oncle</p>
<p><strong>Comments:</strong> There were three films to choose from, I chose Mon Oncle as it was very quaint and quite slapstick. It&#8217;s a French film and I wanted to get that into the piece &#8211; the lamb is a representation of myself and my emotions and thoughts towards the film are extruding from my head.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Comments:</strong> The idea behind this campaign was to cut out the facts and figures of bottle vs. breast and make clear the single most important fact. Breast feeding is natural. No artificial ingredients.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">This was going to be one of a series of posters with different stamps at the bottom. Where this one displays &#8220;No artificial ingredients&#8221; the others would have &#8220;no added sugar&#8221;, &#8220;free from nuts&#8221;, the vegetarian symbol and others that you would normally find on packaged food products.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Please be aware that this was just a quickie project, as you&#8217;ll notice on the video there can be much more done in terms of fine details such as the shading, blending and just generally ironing out all the fine details.</p>
