“Try to keep this stuff fun” Aaron Draplin

Self

Self is a proposal for an organisation that helps to tackle loneliness. Self’s communication strategy asks people if they may have a ‘piece missing’, and this poster shows one of the ways to help find that missing piece.

Five images show mock-up adverts: a bus stop, a tube car panel, and three images for Instagram stories. They all ask if you are missing a piece? Followed by the answer that piece is you. The final image is of a self-help booklet that contains instructions on how to find that piece.

SW Gold packaging

A gin bottle with its special edition metal packaging that has more than one use. SW Gold’s packaging can be used for gold panning because of the two different sized sieves it contains. If searching for gold isn’t for you, why not shake up a cocktail instead of turning the body into a vase or even somewhere to keep your bananas? It can do what you need it to do.
