Analysis of Project in the Real World

In the real world, I think this advertisement would go over well. It incorporates many elements seen in funny car commercials today, but still has an angle and story that is different from the competition. I think it is a fresh twist on a common theme.

To create something fresh, you need to know what has already been done. You've seen millions of ads in your lifetime and probably know what looks, feels, and sounds stale by now. The ability to deconstruct and categorize ads is a useful skill for those who aspire to do creative work. (107)

The strategy that was used for this advertising campaign could also be stretched to extend to differnet dreams with different people in the car, creating more stories.
An advertising campaign is a series of coordinated ad units, based on an overarching strategy and highly related ideas, connected by look and feel, voice, tone, style, imagery, and tagline, where each individual ad in the campaign also can stand on its own. (195)

The imagery relates to Kia as a brand. They created a car for the younger, urban demographic. The city dweller. Visually, the commercial gets that across.
Any campaign should relate to the brand's visual identity, its look and feel. That does not mean you have to use the brand colors as the main palette. It also does not mean that you just use the brand logo as the main image. It does mean that the kinds of imagery, the qualities and characteristics of the imagery, 198199typefaces, and color palette should be appropriate for the brand or group. If it works, it is deemed on brand. (199)

As always, a designer working with motion must consider concept generation, function, form, aesthetics, meaning, and—ultimately—communication.
Creating concepts and visuals for television commercials, screen-based media can involve narrative or storytelling forms (linear, nonlinear, realistic, abstract, or experimental), sequencing of images and events, composition, and visual and motion variables (characteristics, attributes, or qualities).(220)
