Anker creative team need your help!

Or a guy rock climbing with a anker cord going from him to the rock saying. “Anker a brand you can trust with your life”

Ooooo. That’s awesome!

I’m planning a storyboard photoshoot with my kids using the cables for random things around the house.

If you are familiar with photoshop you have to play around a little with gimp.
Same features, but another menu of course.

I don’t have the Adobe Creative Suite on my home computer anymore, so I’ll definitely give Gimp a go.

My ideas:

  1. One car pulling another car (broke / out of fuel) with Anker Cable
  2. Car towed with a Anker Cable
  3. Person pulling car with Anker Cable to show his strength (or Strength of Anker’s Cable) OR to take his broke-down car to nearest repair :rofl:
  4. Person pulling a plane with Anker Cable
  5. Person pulling a Train with Anker Cable

Will try to put an image here

Anyone interested in Gimp - here is a video tutorial how to use

Gimp is very common on Linux. I used Gimp usually to compress images, and ffmpeg to recode videos, make GIFs, etc.

All free! If something is not free it inherently has to be worse because if a non-free one ever got good you’d not pay for the “new improved” version.

Is that a USB-A or USB-C cable he’s swinging on? lol

I’d see something like that : a abandoned location, or a post apocalyptic world, but still a PowerLine+, intact. (the PowerLine was red on the picture but something went wrong…)

Ok good cause I don’t think I’ll be good at it lol

I actually had the same idea in mind! I found this image from REI as a reference - with the rope being an Anker Cable instead

I’m not very skilled in Photoshop, but I am experienced in how my children abuse my various cables. Whether it’s carrying the device by the cable or attempting to play jump rope with it, they have some creative ways for using them. The jump rope one with kids would be a good one in my opinion.

Inkscape is a good replacement for illustrator.

Not sure if the creative cloud has a 3D CAD modeler, but Blender is the best out there.

Both of those are free

My little contribution:

Since durability is a is the ability of a physical product to remain functional, without requiring excessive maintenance or repair, when faced with the challenges of normal operation over its design lifetime, my idea would be a simple gif showing an Anker cable vs other cables through their lifetimes. The Anker cable would, of course, remain basically the same - maybe add some dirt spots to convey the time - while the other cable would increasingly wear off, first opening the rubber/plastic casing over the cable itself to show the innards, then breaking completely at some point, showing an open end.

The same can be achieved in a single image, by showing the two cables as a “timeline” with the brand new portions on the left, and the other cable getting increasingly worse the more we get to the right-hand-side. This would fit into images in the same format as the ones in the topic.

This can be done for multiple cables - always comparing two: regular rubber/plastic cables, braided cables, premium cables, with all combinations of USB-A, MicroUSB, USB-C and Lightning on the ends.

I can have a shot at Photoshopping it later, but I guess the explanation here is simple enough. The key point in my idea is to show a cable’s lifetime and, with it, showcase Anker’s cable’s durability.
