This is my first time starting a blog on my website, just to share something I like, something that inspired me, and something that is worth sharing. All these things I share would help you get to know my world and me as an artist and a designer.
So today, the first thing I wanna share is The Tale of Thomas Burberry, a short film that tells a fantastic story about the founder of the British luxury fashion brand Burberry. The trailer was released in 2016 as a celebration of Burberry's 160-year-old birthday, and it definitely depicted all those exciting moments of the brand in the history.
The Tale of Thomas Burberry. 160 years in the making.
Honestly, I've watched this trailer like so so many times, and I like everything about it, from music to visual picture, theme, characters and the story. But more importantly, the thing I like the most is the environment in the trailer created by both audio and visual, which kinda makes me feel like I'm being brought back into that history. I feel the power of the evolution of the brand, I feel the war, I could even touch everything in the trailer. It is really the feeling that connects, the feeling that makes you rethink Burberry as a fashion brand. Actually, it is more than a fashion brand, for it has become the part of the British culture.
Behind the Scene
The reason why I think it is inspiring to me is that I could feel the energy of Thomas Burberry on being creative, being innovative and being dedicated. I think such energy has become a big motivation to me on being a dedicated designer. In addition, the storytelling is the key of art and design these days, it is one of the most important ways for people to communicate and connect, through visual and audio, through history and culture, through stories and your personal life experiences.
