IRONICAL MOUSETRAP
A colleague wanted an illustration for a student workshop poster. The slogan they provided, "Building a better mousetrap?" broke the first rule of advertising. I used Autodesk 3ds Max to design this fanciful product concept.
Ironically, few students recognized the 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.
