Basic description of the project: Toyota wanted us to help them remind the public about the dangers of texting while driving. So we created radio ads that used texting tones to demonstrate the horrible things that can happen to people because of this dangerous habit. The first radio, titled "Siren", was a series of text tones that eventually formed an ambulance siren sound effect. The second, named "ECG", was a series of text tones that eventually formed an ECG machine sound effect. Both radios hammered home the point by ending with a grim reminder about the dangers of texting while driving.
