Metro | Poster Campaign | D&AD entry


The poster campaign, All you need to know, a response to a D&AD brief, promotes the "Metro way of thinking", cutting out all the unnecessary information and providing only the essentials needed to understand a given topic. The posters give a short summary of a usually lengthy topic, such as Hamlet, Van Gogh and the Titanic, conveying the Metro style of news reporting by summing up the overall gist of the topic in just a few lines.
The humorous shortening of the stories are the strength of this campaign and the posters have few other visual distractions. The copy driven posters are plain and simple, getting the message across in a clear way that is quickly understood by passers-by. They will appear at bus stops, on the sides of  busses, in tube and train stations, and inside tube carriages.

Mango Airlines | Print

Mango is a low-cost domestic airline that prides itself on efficiency and innovation. The first airline to do so, Mango has implemented a green fee on all its flights, aiming to be carbon neutral by 2015.

This print campaign aims to introduce this initiative by humorously demonstrating that now that customers don’t have air pollution weighing down on their conscience, they’ll be morally free to do something a little naughty on their flight. Something they wouldn’t usually do.
