DESIGN EXPLORATION | Trollback + Company

I'm recommending this site:

http://www.trollback.com/#/work/

I find it to be an excellent source for inspiration. A lot of their projects utilize fairly simple flash animation techniques such as we've learned in class, but what makes them great are the brilliant concepts.

Check out the clever use of typography in the Met Life spot, the energetic graphics for Target, and the beautiful metaphor for Nike butterfly. Even a sobering political message becomes engaging in the Caucus4 Priorities.

In my experience as an ad agency art and creative director, I've learned that no matter how strong the execution, whether it be photography, illustration or film, if there's no concept the work is simply eye candy.
