Bunnies! And life…
January 24th, 2008Great excitement… On Tuesday, Annie and I are visiting Fallon London (responsible for the Sony Bravia adverts, the Cadbury’s gorilla and the Skoda cake ad amongst others) and Artem (responsible for the plasticine bunnies of sony Bravia, Lara Croft and George Clooney in Madame Tussaud’s amongst other things!!) We have to make a film about a design practitioner, but after choosing ‘whoever made the bunnies advert’ as a starting point and then discovering that 5 companies were behind it, we decided to use the bunnies as a focus and then look at the agencies behind them. We actually get to meet 400 bunnies before they are shipped off to America the next day, so we are really very excited indeed!
We had another project set today, to design an ident for a TV show about the arts, targeted at 18’s-25’s. This should also involve some film as well as still graphics, so again, should be quite fun. I was, however, concerned and amused to receive an email from the University today inviting us to do a year’s placement designing for McDonald’s in London!!! Interesting I am sure, but I don’t think I want to delay my degree for it, even if it did lead to a job at the end of it.
Had a great night at Hungry for God (big prayer meeting) on Tuesday, we did a new song by Hillsong called “Hosanna”, which was really good (download it if you like!)
I have also finally come off my throat infection anti-biotics which have left me feeling a bit sick and IBS-ish during the day *sighs loudly* it is disappointing because I have been regaining a little confidence recently as I haven’t been feeling so bad!

Yes, I hear from a reliable source that the bunnies was yet another of those ideas that the graphic arts industry has ripped off from one of their own, do you want a link to the guys who originally presented this idea to one of the firms now publishing it?

you are right, Creative Review have claimed that the bunnies were copied from an illustration by another artist, but as yet there is no proof.
