LOBO “seeks to employ the full extent of its capabilities to the craft, with the constant objective of doing unique work every time around”. They do this with a solid set up of designers, animators, illustrators, editors, a writer and a sound designer.

I think the most important thing about LOBO is that they are aimed towards quality more than quantity. They seek to employ the “full extent of its capabilities to the craft with the constant objective of doing unique work every time around”. The information explains that their intention is to have a good time and maybe do some work.

Artistic Need=
After reading the bios of the eight producers, they all are very professional and very fun. And all of them seem to have big dreams and goals, most of which they have already accomplished. Like the Curator of Art and Design, Dominie Mahl, created her own line of successful greeting cards in just one year.

Clients Need=
Clients who use Curious Pictures work are looking for a modern, contemporary, upbeat but professional commercials. Some of my favorite are their Target commercials and the Steve Madden commercial. http://www.curiouspictures.com/services/design.html#

Animators create TV commercials, on-air graphics/titles and television shows (recently including, Codename: Kids Next Door, Little Einsteins and Hey Joel). The best part is that their motto is “great work - make money – have fun”.
