V Lemon "Screensaver"

Some people like the taste of regular V. While others prefer the taste of V Berry. There are some who love Sugar Free V. And others who'd rather drink V Black. And then there are some people who don't really like the taste of any of these flavours. So that's why V introduced new V lemon. Because we all have different tastes. And that's exactly what this flavour variant campaign celebrated... The fact that we are all different people, with a diverse range of tastes. As a part of the campaign this screensaver was created, wich they believed would appeal to their target market: 18 to 24 years olds males. It was a classic shot of a hot blond girl, in a bikini, posing on the hood of a hotted-up lemon sports car. Now who wouldn't like that? Well, funny enough some people don't. But that's ok. Because after 7 seconds, this hot blonde morphed into a leggy brunette. And for those who don't like leggy brunettes... well, you only have to wait another 7 seconds to see what would come next.

Quaker Oats "Food list"

Quaker Oats is a whole grain food, low in saturated fat and cholestorol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. The campaign target audience are housewives that shop and prepare their family meals. In Indonesia, the promotion tools closest to them are flyers and brochures containing pictures of products with their respective prices, commonly distributed by supermarkets and mini markets. These mailers are sent to neighborhoods and placed in mail boxes or clipped fences. The strategy is to use the conventional format of flyers to present information about cholestorol levels of various food normally found in a shopping list. The amounts of cholestorol content (presented in mg/100g of food serving) are camouflaged as food prices. A number of people are still unaware of the dangers of bad cholestorol accumulation in our bloodstream. Hence, this campaign is aimed at educating consumers about the cholestorol in various foods, and at the same time, promotion consumption of Quaker Oats to help lower cholestorol levels. At first, the housewives thought the mailers were the regular flyers from their mini market. As they read further, they were surprised to learn about the prices actually representing cholestorol content in various foods. They are now much more aware of wich foods are heart-healthy and wich are not and that might influence their food preferences in the future.

Inspiration.

Throughout the ages, in the West, as well as in various other cultures around the world, women have always been encouraged to achieve an unrealistic state of 'ideal' beauty even in cases where it has been detrimental to their health. This is apparent in more extreme examples like the Victorian corset and Chinese foot binding. Women, it seems, are willing to suffer for the sake of beauty. Ninette van Kamp is interested in conveying this relationship through textiles, looking at seams and mark makings on the body in particular.
