Studio Brief 1- First Task

The briefs that stand out to me out of the ones I’ve viewed today are

Hasbro- Next Generation Party Games,
Fur For Animals
The National Autistic Society

The Hasbro Brief is particularly exciting as this is an idea I have toyed a lot with and looked to making in the past. I like to think of board games as a uniting factor within social situations and they always (if they’re any good) manage to liven up a gathering. My group of friends and I have recently taken to playing board games every time we meet up and always discuss possible game ideas, so it would be a great opportunity to put these ideas to the test!

Fur For Animals is one that I feel would be very relevant and for a good cause. I also think it’s a sensitive issue and one that needs to be handled carefully. While I completely disapprove of the commercial fur trade, and fur in high fashion, there are definitely instances wherein owning a fur is the difference between life and death to people during winter or all year round. Where the animal isn’t wasted and is put to good use, feeding, sheltering, clothing and even helping families build tools. These are instances where it is a necessity, the irony being that the people who resort to these measures are the people that would be doing it sustainably if not for the high demand of the fur trade in our, and other first world countries. A very sad topic, but ever the more relevant, and one I would like to address as sensitively as possible.

The National Autistic Society an organisation that deserves merit and a well thought out project. I think this would be a challenging brief and one that would prompt me to meet new people, learn about circumstances and gather a well rounded understanding in order to do this brief justice. It is a brief that would require passion, like the Fur For Trade, and one that I am willing to apply myself to so as to give a well thought out concept to the customer.
