This was a fun project. Designing swim hat designs for SwimSecure. They're good quality silicone hats to keep your head dry and add some insulation over the colder months. I like to wear two silicone hats in the winter, so maybe you'll need both!

Great visual signposting

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE!
Danish supermarkets have made it easy for customers to know how far to stay away from others by marking out the floors.

Over the next couple of days the cashiers will sit behind newly erected plexiglass to protect themselves and customers.

There are seemingly no shortages in the shops either.
People are NOT hoarding. They have gentle reminders such as "A pack of 6 loo rolls at the normal price of £1.50 - 2 packs = £55!!"
(Well, actually the price would be shown in Danish and in Danish Kroner but just trying to illustrate a point!)

A campaign has started in Bath to encourage businesses to keep their doors closed to save energy. B&NES Council is supporting the drive for a behaviour change by shops, restaurants and cafés, asking them to keep their doors closed during the working day. This simple act can lower energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions and cut fuel bills. A shut door can also help provide healthier working conditions for staff and cut down on shoplifting. Interestingly, studies have shown that closing the door doesn’t have a detrimental effect on profits and many major retailers and coffee chains have adopted a closed-door policy in recent years. Plus, the dramatic rise in climate conscientiousness means that consumers these days are much more appreciative of good environmental practices and will support participating retailers.
A team will be visiting shops and cafés in Bath, Keynsham and Radstock over the next few weeks to encourage them to shut the door. Stickers for doors or windows will be supplied free of charge, allowing customers to easily recognize and support participating retailers.
If your business would like to take part and would like a door sticker, please contact us on [email protected]

A project from earlier this year, that was great to be involved with. New packaging for all the outdoor swim safety products. I'm a big fan of the company, and have been using their tow floats and swim hats for years, ever since I took my swimming outside. They're being environmental about it, and using up the old stock first, so these are just beginning to filter through into stores. The images at the end are the 'how to use' illustrative diagrams, that feature on the reverse of the packs//
