NCHA- Annual report 2008-2009

This brief, set by Purple Circle, wanted us to design an Annual Report for a Homeless Housing company named the NCHA ( Nottingham Council Housing Association) However they didn't want the usual boring ways of a normal annual report.  It had to be innovated and different from the norm.  

I decided that I would create a 3D annual report with the information displayed on the 3D model.  I designed a net of a box that unfolds to create a house, idea taken from the fact that this company help the homeless to find homes. Taking the information from www.ncha.org.uk here are images of what I designed and created using, photoshop, illustrator, indesign.  I created a pack that would be sent to the customer with a covering letter explaining how to create the box and home and how to read it.

'A Power Smile!' Energy Conservation

Topic : Standby Buttons 

Audience : Office workers, large business places

Message : 'Cut Out' standby! TURN OFF!

Format : Direct mail, Poster & Billboard

I wanted to create a fun way of turning off appliances left on in large office spaces.

I came up with the idea of a 'Power Smile.' Using the power button symbol I changed it into a face.  The receiver of the direct mail would literally 'cut out' the reminder and place it on the corner of the appliance using the instructions provided.  Simple & fun that would look cool in an office environment.
