Today we’ve got a very special One Minute Brief of the Day with an incredible prize to be won. The chance to have the winning entry brought to life as an illustration or film by me and my good friend/talented artist, Steve Moyler!! This brief was inspired after Steve sent me a KFC poster his 7 year-old daughter had done to cheer me up following my back surgery on Thursday. ‘Merry Crispymas’!!! Absolutely brilliant.
So…today’s OMB is for the kids!
(unless you want to unleash your inner-child of course and go full-on scamp style!)
Brief:
Create posters to advertise the number one gift on your santa list!
As your kids, nieces, nephews, cousins and grand children have made a list, and you are checking it twice, we want them to bring to life the very thing that will bring them happiness in a few days and create a poster to advertise why it’s so great!
It can be for ANYTHING they want. From expected toys and games, to world peace, saving the environment or even a McDonalds breakfast! Everything goes this festive week for the young ones.
With many of you still working hard and lots of excited children counting the days, lets give these creative minds something to do to fill in the time – they are future OMBLES after all!
BRIEF:
Create a poster that advertises the Christmas present that is wanted most. They can use any paper, colour or crayon, laptop or iPad, they can even create a little TikTok advert!
Let’s give them full creative control as only they know how to do.
Tweet your submissions to @OneMinuteBriefs & @SteveMoyler with the hashtags #MyXmasWishlist & #MiniOMBLES
PRIZE:
Winner receives their vision brought to life! As well as a framed personalised illustration of them as anyone they wish to be or meet. One for the bedroom wall!
See some of the example above and below. Steve asked his children to draw themselves s superheroes and he brought them to life!
CONTEXT:
Christmas is coming and the ideas have been getting fat this season.
There have been some great Xmas adverts but we want to see what the OMB kids can do.
As you dash around for the last minute sends to Santa, let’s gift the young minds a moment to shine as the clock ticks down.
DO’s
• Be a child. (Big kids allowed)
• Be as creative as you want
• Use any advertising medium
• Let that young mind do its thing
• Make everyone excited about the number one gift on your Santa’s list
DONT’s…
• Be an adult (Children at heart allowed)
• Don’t amend their creativity!
WINNING CRITERIA
• The winning one will make us all feel like that moment we came down the stairs at 5am after being told ‘it’s too early and go back to bed!’
• We want the ‘HE’S BEEN!’ moment in a funny, simple and perfect way that only kids can do.
REMEMBER… “If they don’t know they will have a go!”

So let’s give children’s creativity a Christmas cheer to end 2020. Good luck!
