IRONICAL MOUSETRAP



A coworker needed posters for an innovation workshop. His slogan, "Building A Better Mousetrap?", broke the first rule of advertising. I used Autodesk 3ds Max to make this fanciful concept model for promotional illustrations, website animation, and a virtual reality experience.


Ironically, students didn't know that building a better mousetrap is an old innovation metaphor. Plausible engineering and unbiased rendering led some to imagine my design was a digital prototype with crowdfunding potential. The revised slogan sparked further debate over pre-order products marketed to unwary consumers. Advertisers have a duty of care when their campaigns feature photorealistic computer graphics.
