How This Design Student Has the Attention of Coke

When the Chief Creative of Ogilvy China knocks on your dorm room, you know you must have done something right. That's just what happened to Jonathan Mak Long, a 20-year-old design student, who got noticed when an image he posted to his blog went viral. That image featured the Apple logo with Steve Job's silhouette in the "bite". If you haven't seen it yet you can check it out here

Mak was then given this brief from Ogilvy's Chief Creative: "Sharing a Coke", which led to the image you see here of two hands in the shape of Coke's iconic white ribbon passing a bottle. Since its premiere on the streets of Shanghai, the design has captured the attention of Coke's top executives. Designers should take inspiration from this story, which shows really good work does get noticed and nicely rewarded. Though Mak prefers has declined to disclose exactly how much. Source: AdAge
