Water Water, EverywhereRSA Student Design Awards 2014 Title: One Drop Water Conservation

Overview:

In an effort to help save fresh water on a national scale I proposed a service that would help to mitigate unnecessary water contamination by providing a new method of waste disposal to the public. This system utilises a variety of containers and includes a new hazard classification symbol: water pollution.

The first page introduces the idea of a symbol to help consumers determine whether a product is potentially hazardous if it enters the sewers.

The second page continues where the first left off, it depicts several container types and how they should be used.It elaborates further on the issue, and uses a series of icons to explain the issue in it’s simplest of terms, and why the service is necessary.

Overview:

The third page details the user journey and how people would interact with the service. It uses familiar systems like waste disposal trucks and sorting and recycling facilities. Whilst the brief set no budget, my intent was to keep the budget within the realms of possibility.

The fourth and final page focuses entirely on advertising the service. The posters introduce the new hazard classification and the matching waste disposal container. Information leaflets and booklets were also designed, as ultimately the problem is entirely avoidable with the proper knowledge.
