This Enfamil campaign was a release of billboards in New York City’s Times Square. There were 8 static image signs along with one animated version. One of my tasks was to organize, edit, lay out, and package the static sign imagery. I was also to build a looping animation for the last billboard. The animated sign was more fun to work on, but the required lack of Enfamil branding makes me think the static signs connected with consumers better.
I used After Effects for the animated Times Square billboard, Photoshop for the layouts of the static billboard images, and InDesign for the final packaging and delivery to the Enfamil brand for printing.
Among the assets received from Enfamil were some examples of each of the billboards that would be used for the various images in the campaign. Each image has pixel dimensions that I would use in laying out all the final imagery.
The assets also included numerous studio shots of various babies to use for the billboards. The messaging was consistent for all the signs, but several of the images needed to be altered and extended to fit the final resolutions as specified.
The animated billboard allowed me to work with text animators and some overshoot in revealing the content. While not very complex, those simple additions gave the sign a bit more life and interest, allowing it to compete better for New Yorkers’ attention.
