The Brief
The 2015 Festive Campaign for the Shangri-La Hotel, Dubai was based on the concept of storytelling. To express the strength of hope and keeping faith. The brief was to come up with a story that would demonstrate love, hope and faith while relating to the residents of the UAE.
The Music & Lyrics
We came up with a story about George the Gingerbread Man who lives at the Shangri-La Hotel in Dubai and his time during the festive season.Wish Upon A Star is a story that helps the viewer and the visitors at Shangri-La Dubai keep faith and also make their wishes come true.
I used an illustration style that was very simple with pastel colours in the setting of the actual lobby of the hotel.
