ArgonTweets's avatarArgonTweets contacted the Euphaurix team in October 2020 to assist with the development of the SquidGameEvent's avatarSquidGameEvent.

I collaborated closely with the marketing and design team to help create a consistent and distinctive design style for the event. The event featured many creators across the Minecraft Community.

Process 01 // Motion Exploration

I was tasked with creating kinetic videos for the project, and it was crucial that they be fast-paced and visually appealing. I was inspired by Apple's kinetic commercials and Essential Mod's promotional videos.

I realised that colour would play an important role, and by using the event's bold palette, I would be able to switch scenes appropriately to keep the viewer engaged.

Process 02 // Visual Identity

Following the release of the first video. I realized that by incorporating 3D elements, in-game shots, and sound design, I could significantly improve the animations.

We combined yellow and green into the current colour palette to provide a sense of value and make the prize total more significant.

Pink Soldier Mob Vote

I was tasked with a 3D render while working on motion graphics. It was to be posted after Minecraft Live's Mob Vote. One of the most important votes in the Minecraft Community, so we knew we had to take advantage of the opportunity.

The image depicts a player as a 'Pink Soldier' relaxing while holding their vote and eagerly awaiting the reveal.

Process 03 // Destined for Greatness

After weeks of research and improvement, it was time to create the final teaser. I knew I had to make this special, so I decided to pay tribute to the first teaser I created while incorporating all of the new assets I had created over the weeks.

The related video has inspired 72 million viewers to play the show's games.

Due to the pandemic, the target audience of online gaming grew exponentially, and with the popularity of Squid Game, the vast majority of this audience was looking for Squid Game' related events. This social media trend and word-of-mouth publicity favoured and paved the way for the release of our event.
