@chenryhen
Trying to get back into sketching with this quick mash-up! Shout out to @projectrooftop for the inspiration.
As part of the 395th Battlin’ Bastards, Sgt Matt Murdock was caught in the mystical crossfire when his unit interrupted Rasputin’s attempt to summon dark forces to bolster the Nazis. Merged with a demonic form, Murdock uses the power of the Hand to battle both the supernatural and the mundane evil of men as Devilboy!
So here's something interesting and a little upsetting. The above is the Coca-Cola campaign for the 2016 holiday season. The sentiment is very Coke---sharing and good vibes, etc. But it's annoying that it's the women who get the diet versions. If anyone should get it, it's Santa. Or no one at all? Obviously they want to push their brands, and obviously they must have some data that directs them to target diet drinks to women. I just hate the messaging here. That that's what women should get and be happy about.
Another wrinkle: the international versions (like this Italian one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVzHT9yO508) do have an even gender split, but they've decided to drop the black woman for a white woman. You really can't win for losing.

And now, Documentary Now!
To me, one of the standouts in this current golden age of television standouts has got to be Documentary Now!, the brainchild of SNL alums Seth Meyers, Bill Hader and Fred Armisen. For those who are unfamiliar, the show purports to be a long-running PBS-ish showcase for documentaries. For the show's fictional 50th anniversary (now 51st as the DN! moves into its second season), in each episode, the incomparable Dame Helen Mirren introduces a documentary from the show's "past".
The format allows the creative team to skip around, both in time and genre, presenting - I would call them spoofs, but they're done so faithfully and with such care, no matter how funny or absurd they get - homages of famous documentaries and documentarian styles. Not only are the settings, the characters and the dialogue pitch-perfect, but the the visual design of each episode is totally on point. From the Documentary Now! logos that represent its 50 years to the opening credits of each fake documentary to the throwaway props in any given scene (check out "Diet Brown Cola" in the premier of S2), everything is new but looks like it was plucked from the past.
Ignite Brand Identity
A young, women-owned marketing communications firm in the Philippines. I worked directly with one co-founder who was very design-literate, so that opened the door to fun graphic and type treatments that don’t normally see the light of day. The hot pink-red came out especially well on the business cards.
