The day of the event finally arrived on a sunny morning in Madrid. It was held at Milk Studio, a nice, open warehouse with white walls that contrasted well with the art and designs that we painted for Nivea.
At
half past 11 the bloggers began to file in and began to look at the
artwork. The 9 canvases we painted covered the walls and out limited
edition designed bottles were everywhere. Many classic Nivea beach balls
could be seen scattered all over the floor, it looked like a creative
playground.
Slowly
but surely, the room began to fill up and Taquen, representing FTW for
the event, became the center of attention. He explained the creative
process behind the designs and paint to the visiting bloggers. "SoapTwo
should be here, I don't know how to smile," he said jokingly. SoapTwo
usually does the public speaking, but having just recently relocated to
the US, Taquen has had to step up.
After
the video, the bloggers now had to start with their own task: design
their own labels. Each had a unique style and tried to incorporate
somehow their own logos into the work. The event went smoothly, and it
was really fun to watch the bloggers out of their element taking on a
new challenge. To sum it up, it was a great event in which a lot of
creativity was involved with an incredible outcome, the designs the
bloggers made were great.
After
designing their new labels, there was one surprise left, the bloggers
would have the chance to paint their own canvas using the materials we
used: spraypaint, markers, and a hint of chaos.
A great event we were proudly a part of.
