3x Promo Material for World Toilet Day

For one of these products I thought that a door hanger would work well as this could be placed in the environment that it is promoting, I wanted all these designs to be relatively short on information and more to lead the audience online to the world toilet day's website and social network sites.

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:
