The final design used a mix of photography and graphic elements that gave the bus a unique feel as well as advertising it’s route, which we felt important as a new service.

Last christmas the Department for Sustainability decided to implement a campaign to remind staff to turn off their computers over the christmas break. They approached Green Hat and asked us to produce a series of posters to remind University staff to switch off, before the shut down – but the message is broader than that and applies to us all, whether at work or in the home.

Work produced includes "Water" usage poster, “Calling Hall Students” sign-up flyer/posters for freshers week, and the “Flick the Switch” campaign which used contemporary illustrations to show the main energy saving tips to students.

The staff survey brand itself was based on the three parts of the survey, to ‘ask, listen and act’. The communication literature was then divided into three key areas: Pre-survey included posters promoting the forth coming survey, a DL leaflet attached to all staff pay packets notified them of the start of the online survey, and finally two reports were commissioned for design once the information had been collated.
