United KingdomToday we present you Creative Criminals’ first infographic. It shows you all the results of the 2011 London International Awards that have just been presented in London. Have a look at every detail of this infographic and if you like it be sure to spread the word and let us know what you think.
This month we will not present a new Creative Criminal Character but instead we will show you all the animals we have so far in one group. We are currently working very hard on an amazing unique layout for our blog. Hopefully somewhere in July everybody will be able to enjoy the new design.
Tokala is a North American Red Fox who was born in the Black Hill National Forest situated in South Dakota. With its versatile fauna and flora, Tokala and his family had to live next to other sly predators such as the mountain lions and coyotes. Also raptors like the bald eagle, falcons and hawks were disturbing the peaceful existence of the omnivores. After many years, Tokala’s tribe was strongly weakened because of the lack of food due to the strength of the other animals.
The fox-tribe had to make a choice: move to another area or to stand up to the larger number of predators. That is were the young, yet clever Tokala came in. Ever since he was old enough to go out alone, he was fascinated by adventure with its dangers and traps. He gradually learned to anticipate and got the nature to be his partner in crime. With his quick thinking ability and cunning plans he got its tribe territory back and provided them the life they deserved.
Chisulo is an African elephant born near the Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania). Chisulo was the only son of Watende, the leader of the herd and Inaya. From whenever he was born Chisulo supposed to step into the footsteps of his beloved father. Watende tought him everything he knew and at the age of 14 Chisulo seemed ready to take lead. That was until poachers disturbed their harmonious life.
The poachers set foot on the ground belonging Watende’s herd, with only one goal: to collect ivory. Watende tried to protect his family but harm was done from the moment they set foot. The elephants were outnumbered by the enemies and couldn’t force a thing. Some of the herd got away, some of them lost their lives.
Qazibe is a Tasmanian Forester Kangaroo born in the South West Wilderness of Tasmania, Australia. When she was little, she grew up in a very religious environment where the basic values were to cherish your loved ones and help the weak. After a peaceful youth on the island she wanted to explore the world and left Tasmania to help people in need.
She volunteered as a first-aid nurse in the Australian Red Cross where she worked for two years. Doctors recognized her talents and transferred her to South Africa to fight against the HIV-virus. During her years as a nurse in South-Africa she became flawless in the technique of anesthesia. As a foreigner it wasn’t always easy to do her job but due to her strong nature she stood up to all kinds of problems.
We proudly present you a new Creative Criminal design. Starting today we will publish a new character each month.
Ernst, a castor fiber (European beaver) was born in Schwarzwald, a wooded mountain range in Baden-Württemberg, southwestern Germany. Due to the overpopulation of beavers in the Black Forest, Ernst and some of his friends travelled to Poland, said to be the Valhalla for beavers. He was only eight years old back then, yet he was clever and independent. On his trip he found an American bomb from World War II near Dresden. Together with his friends he detonated the bomb and fascinated by the force in such a small object, the only thing he wanted to do is blow things up.
Bossies was born in the slums of Cape-Town, South Africa. When he was a kid he suffered from a severe form of attention deficit disorder, because of this he never went to school. He wound up as a member of a gang that controlled a big part of the slums.
Bossies is not his real name, it’s his nickname, meaning going totally crazy in South African. One day a grenade blew up right next to his head and there is still some shrapnel stuck in his brain. Since that day he has gone insane.
Kauã originates from Tamarin (a tribe from Golden Lion Monkeys) in the Atlantic Rainforest near South-East Brazil. He was born blind and pretty soon his mother abandoned him because of his handicap. Determined to survive he learned to look with his ears and kept on living.
In the 70’s hunters were hired to provide the rich people in Asia with monkey meat. Kauã got captured and was taken to China. Before they tried to slaughter him, he was able to escape. Lost in China, a monk of the Shaolin temple noticed the remarkable monkey and took him under his wings.
We present you the first Creative Criminal called Rönguðr. Due to popular demand we will present all three creative animals this month. Starting in January we will present a new creative animal each month.
His name is Rönguðr and he was born on Antarctica in de early 50’s. How he managed to reach civilization is unknown. Many believe that he travelled to Australia with a Russian expedition team; after they had just lost two men trying to reach the South Magnetic Pole.
