Creative Interpretation of a Flier
For the 'creative interpretation of a flier' product I wanted to make a small self assembly paper toilet that the user could assemble and have on their desk to prompt questions about world toilet day or to assemble and give to a friend to spread the word.
I began by sketching out some nets that I thought might work and making a lot of mock ups:
I then started filling in the net with what I thought would work...
But after printing and trying it out it wasn't how I imagined it at all and it was hardly recognisable as a toilet!
I tried a new design where I got rid of all the blue so it would look more like a small toilet
This design looked better than the first one did on screen but after I printed it and tried assembling it I would see that it wasn't working either. This simple box shape didn't suit the complicated gradients.
I experimented with some nets that would bend but this ended up becoming complicated and would be too complex a net for me to make or for anybody to assemble easily.
I liked this part of one of the mock ups, which is the flush closet that sits on top of the toilet so from this I decided to keep it simple and make it into a little square toilet with simple shades,
something similar to this:
Despite my printer running low on ink I could see that this direction could work pretty well if it was printed better on thicker stock and the two parts were the same size
I combined the 2 simple nets to make this all in one toilet net with only 4 flaps that need inserting
I then designed a flier around this net to give people an idea of the cause and the purpose of the toilet:
Non A-Format poster
I initially thought that designing a sheet of paper that could be used to wrap some toilet paper up in would be a good idea which people could use and then they'd be left with a crumply poster which in some ways references the toilet paper.
I had some imagery from the summer brief products that I could use to make a pattern aswell:
I tried wrapping a toilet roll up in a square of paper
I found the stock difficult to fold but twisting the ends a bit like a christmas cracker worked well.
This is the design I came up with:
