Theory and Narration: Prof. Luke Sullivan
Art direction & Illustration: Arundhati Prasad
An analogy of the creative process for advertisers and creatives by Luke Sullivan (Prof of advertising at SCAD Savannah) from his book 'Hey Whipple Squeeze This'. Here prof. Sullivan compares the creative process to the act of washing a pig. It is messy, It has no rules and will make you feel stupid at first.

Design and Motion
The tone and aesthetic for this infographic was humorous, goofy, and empathetic. The illustrations are in a limited colour palette and the type choice is hand written and rough. The motion takes place on a large art board and relies heavily on camera movement. There are moments where subtle movements and expressions convey the excitement, frustration and curiosity of the creative process. The voice over plays an important role in the piece as it is done by the author himself. His voice adds a valuable character to the whole project.
