In this brief, my class took turns to pull celebrity names from a hat to end up with 3 names. These names were to become the basis for Absolut Vodka ad concepts. Though I would have loved to pull out Vivienne Westwood or Frieda Kahlo (as one of the other students did), I drew Michaelangelo, Gough Whitlam and Donald Trump. What a challenge! We all know many Absolut ads have an element of humour or slight obscurity so after a lot of research about each celebrity and many rough sketches I came up with these.

Michelangelo - Absolute Masterpiece

Gough Whitlam - Absolut Dismissal

Donald Trump - Absolut Comb-Over
