Convert & Jon Klassen: RBC Blue Water Project

This gentle spot for RBC’s Blue Water Project directed by The Ebeling’s Group’s Convert charms me with its earthy palette and restrained animation style. Each comp is well planned but not overly wrought, walking the line between minimalism and an easy-going gestural style for a blend that’s calm and approachable.

Big props to Jon Klassen, whose illustration style defined the aesthetic for the spot. He’s a perfect match for the message at hand. If you’re new to Klassen’s work, make sure to watch “An Eye for Annai” after you’ve checked out his illustration portfolio.
