Everyone loves a good story. This week We’ve been talking about ideas and creativity outside of the norm – and I believe that character design is a pretty good thing to do to get creative, or for even building a brand or campaign around. Good Characters and Storytelling can make any brand live forever, look at Disney, Blizzard, or even Geico – their success is heavily dependent upon characters and storytelling. So I hope that these characters help inspire you to create your own, and your own stories. Everyone has a story, what is yours? Tell it! Enjoy!<\/p>\n
