Demonstrate this across a number of practical applications, including packaging, website and point of sale. Batiste are fashion-led, utilising trends to ensure that they have significant shelf appeal and strong brand loyalty.

This includes short statements or descriptions that are intrinsic to the identity of the product and collection. Do the current messages best educate and inform consumers at point of purchase? How could they work harder? Work within the parameters of the existing structural packaging. The design needs to work across the full range of bottle sizes. Target Audience Outgoing, active, on the go and fashionable women aged 16-44: women who are short on time, but care about their appearance. Mandatory Requirements Produce four graphic identities, including packaging, website, and point of sale designs.

Branding Brief Brief set by: Nissan In collaboration with: Interbrand

Build a new brand for Nissans sustainability range.

Background The automotive industry is growing, thanks largely to increased demand in emerging markets. But it still faces big challenges if it is to continue thriving in the future. Growing cities, shrinking living environments and increasing pressure on our time and resources are changing the way we think about transport. There are fundamental questions about the future role of vehicles in society. Nissan aims to lead the market by appealing to a new generation. They aim to promote not just the benefits of individual products, but also the connected and technologically integrated products of today and the future. These will become positive lifestyle statements, which demonstrate sustainability and conscientiousness. Considerations Consider how you could create a series of touch points that are both online and offline experiences, which engage audiences and bring the idea to life in a connected manner. Decide if the touch points are products, services, or both, if they are channels or environments, behavioural hallmarks or comms (please include digital social concepts). Mandatories A new name that is a step beyond the expected green and blue environmentally focused product worlds we see today. The name should work as an umbrella for the whole of Nissans sustainable product range, as well as pulling all the products together. A visual identity system that is both consistent and flexible. A tone of voice that brings the personality to life. A communication concept that introduces the idea to the audience in a compelling and distinctive way. It should be a sub-brand of Nissan, so use the existing Nissan logo and Shift_ tagline. Deliverables Main deliverable: Upload a presentation film of your work (max. 2 mins) or up to eight images showing your solution. Optional supporting material for presentation film: Up to four images; interactive work (websites, widgets, apps, HTML, etc.); physical material (prototypes, mockups, etc.); supporting information (up to 400 characters). Optional supporting material for images: Interactive work (websites, widgets, apps, HTML, etc.); physical material (prototypes, mockups, etc.); supporting information (up to 400 characters). Keep any text on images to a minimum; supporting information can be entered online. For full format specs and guidance, see Formatting Your Entries on the next page.

Creative Challenge Nissan want to launch a new lifestyle sub-brand that will hold its complete sustainable range of products. This could be a new line of Nissan vehicles, but is certainly not limited to that. In fact, the world that sits around the products and the way people use them will be just as important. We want you to create this brand and bring it to life in a range of connected new touch points that appeal to younger audiences. In creating this brand, we want you to think about the following principles: Whats your big insight? What need is the brand addressing for its audience? How is it anticipating the needs of tomorrow? How is it (re)awakening the audiences desire for Nissans products and services? How does the brand involve its audiences and encourage participation? How are you using social and digital channels to engage people in a dialogue? How will you keep people as active advocates who help create the future of the brand? How does the brand expression live and flex in different situations? Whats the personality? Target Audience Young (18-34 years old) consumers in employment, either pre-family or with very young children. Lets say from someone taking their first job, to the young couple with a baby.

Traditional broadcasting uses live as an output to connect the audience to events as they happen. Digital technology allows a live output to become much more dynamic, multi-faceted and responsive, ie alive. BBC Online also presents the broadcasters output through continuous access, with live updates, catch-up services and archive information all in one place. BBC Online want their service to be alive to new information and for the context of their audience mixing curation and participation. Creative Challenge How might we turn otherwise static websites into pages that feel updated, dynamic and relevant? How should live updates sit alongside our archive and connect to the rest of the BBCs content? The London 2012 Summer Olympics, the UK riots in 2011, Glastonbury Festival and the recent US election are all great examples of specific events that have been enriched by a multi-faceted live element coming alive across all platforms, for all audiences. Considerations Consider the different audiences of the BBC. What are the specific user needs and desires? Think about their key products and screens. Are there any common needs across multiple products? Will your idea be tailored to a particular audience or will you create a more ubiquitous solution that encompasses everyones experience? What are the different levels of audience participation and interactivity? E.g. social media, apps or second screen experiences.

Open Brief Brief set by: Department of Health In collaboration with: Dare

Burning calories should be as fun as eating them.

Background The issue of weight gain is a global problem. For example, almost half of the people in the UK are either overweight or obese. This is because our lifestyles have changed: we used to hunt and farm, work in tough manual jobs and play outside. Now we sit at desks, or in front of the TV, increasingly craving fats and sugars but not necessarily burning them off. Creative Challenge Your task is to create a campaign that is less about preaching the nutritional value of particular foods, but instead focuses on motivating children and adults to take part in regular physical activity. The target is to get kids exercising for 60 minutes a day and adults for 150 minutes a week. Your idea will need to change behaviour. It will need to get people excited about exercising. Considerations Consider building your campaign around an idea for an initiative, a programme or even a social movement. Make it interactive. How will you maintain a dialogue with your audience so they continue their exercise plan? Think carefully about feeling and tone. When they arent working, people want to spend time doing things they enjoy. Your idea must be enjoyable and positive. Target Audience Everyone. Although specific consideration should be given to lowincome families who are under pressure to buy low cost, quick and easy to cook, convenience foods. This target group could be potentially consuming the most calories, whilst being unaware of the impact that a lack of physical activity can have on them. Deliverables Main deliverable: Upload a presentation film of your work (max. 2 mins) or up to eight images showing your solution. Optional supporting material for presentation film: Up to four images; interactive work (websites, widgets, apps, HTML, etc.); physical material (prototypes, mockups, etc.); supporting information (up to 400 characters).

Their latest collection is uniquely based around bottled emotions. Your challenge is to showcase this range by breaking the rules of conventional perfume packaging. Mandatories The jury is interested in the creative process that led to your final idea. This can be hand sketches or alternative design directions you explored before selecting your final route. Show designs for both graphics and structure across the four scents. Show pack elements / supporting materials to bring your idea to life. Create a name for each fragrance. Bottle and pack designs for each of the four scents should be shown as a range and rendered on a white background. Show mood boards / inspiration materials for your concept. Deliverables Main deliverable: Upload up to eight images showing your solution. Optional supporting material: Physical material (prototypes, mockups, etc.); supporting information (up to 400 characters). Keep any text on images to a minimum; supporting information can be entered online. For full format specs and guidance, see Formatting Your Entries on the next page. Work in formats other than those outlined will not be accepted.

There are four scents, each capturing a different human feeling: Scent a: Passion and desire. Sex and lust. Raw and physical. Scent b: Perfect, sublime love. An interior emotion. Scent c: Excitement and fear. Adrenaline, exhilaration and thrill. Scent d: Elegant and dignified. Stormy yet still. Modernising the brand and taking on a more innovative approach to packaging are important next steps for LArtisan Parfumeur. Considerations You need to ensure that your design retains the quality, craftsmanship and authenticity that LArtisan Parfumeur is known for. Consider how to balance the look and feel of the range with a variety of emotions. How can the packaging evolve LArtisan Parfumeurs brand? Consider if a range name is needed. How is the perfume dispensed? Step away from traditional perfume packaging or material conventions if you wish. Target Audience Discerning shoppers looking for a unique perfume experience. Its not about age, but about a mindset (unique, exuberant, evocative).

D&AD Student Awards 2013

Take Oakley to the leadership position in everyday cycling performance by designing a range of products for cyclists and urban commuters.
Background Cycling is undergoing a renaissance. On one hand, raised health awareness, more expensive public transport, and decreasing disposable incomes, mean that more people are taking to their bikes for everyday trips. On the other, the popularity of road and track cycling exemplified by the 2012 Olympics means that performance bikes, accessories and apparel have become aspirational must-haves for a new generation of cycling aficionados. As these two trends collide, a demand for increased performance has trickled down to the everyday cyclist, or urban commuter, wishing to embed cycling more seamlessly into their worklife-leisure routine. With a history of developing high performance eyewear for cyclists, including many Tour de France winners, Oakley now wishes to expand its cycling offering. Creative Challenge Oakley has identified an opportunity to take a leadership position in everyday cycling performance. They want to bridge the gap between style and function with a range of cycling apparel / accessory products. Your challenge is to envisage how Oakley could target this new space by developing a new product for this range that embodies the brands design philosophy, is relevant to the category and that will resonate with cyclists. Understand the Oakley brand and design philosophy and analyse the cycling apparel and accessories market. Understand real cyclists everyday performance needs and prioritise which cycling products Oakley should focus on. Considerations Who are everyday cyclists and urban commuters? Spend time with real cyclists outside of your normal social sphere. What are their cycling routines and bike user journeys? What does performance mean to them? What unmet needs do they have? What will the future of everyday cycling be like? What are the performance and functional benefits of your design? Consider innovations in materials and product technology as a key source of inspiration. Which existing Oakley technologies, materials / techniques from other categories, or potential future technologies could Oakley utilise? Safety and visibility is paramount on urban roads. Ensure you have considered this as an inherent aspect of your design. All designs must embody Beyond Reason and the Oakley design philosophy. They should clearly communicate Oakley through the proposed forms, colours, materials and finishes, even without a logo present. Consider the Oakley logo style (either for performance or heritage, not both) and its placement. Consider how your product could be developed into a range. Cross collaboration between fashion and product design students is encouraged. Target Audience Everyday cyclists and urban commuters, both male and female. Mandatories Create one apparel or accessory item. Any apparel-based concept should be born out of a product design innovation. Do not design shoes or hardware items such as helmets. Deliverables Main deliverable: Upload a presentation film of your work (max. 2 mins) or up to eight images showing your solution. Optional supporting material for presentation film: Up to four images; physical material (prototypes, mockups, etc.); supporting information (up to 400 characters). Optional supporting material for images: Physical material (prototypes, mockups, etc.); supporting information (up to 400 characters).

Spatial Design Brief Brief set by: Holiday Inn In collaboration with: IHG

Design a check-in experience for a Holiday Inn hotel that is positive, welcoming and distinctive.
Background Since 1952, Holiday Inn Hotels and Resorts have provided the services business travellers need, while also offering leisure travellers a comfortable, casual atmosphere where they can relax and enjoy a range of amenities. Youll find them throughout the world in small towns and major cities, along quiet roadways and near bustling airports because Holiday Inn hotels are always conveniently located. Creative Challenge The check-in experience can be tedious and lengthy. How can you transform this into a positive experience for guests? Holiday Inn would like an overall design solution that provides a holistic experience to make better use of guests time. Consider how other industries say hello, and how having to wait could be something that guests actually enjoy and even look forward to. Considerations As one of the most recognised hotel brands in the world, Holiday Inn needs no formal introduction it strives to be welcoming, reliable, innovative and sociable, and these values should be manifested in the check-in experience. The Holiday Inn brand wants people to enjoy every part of staying at their hotels. The check-in experience should be more than a mandatory requirement; they would like it to become something that could conceivably encourage loyalty to the chain. Consider different guest types and needs. Currently there are a number of relatively universal steps within the standard check-in process, all of which you may consider transforming as part of this brief. Additional information on the traditional view of check-in is available in the Brief Pack. As you consider the re- invention of the check-in process, you should take into account how this will impact the spatial design, service design and product design of the environment. If you design and develop an app, theyd like to see this as part of a solution, rather than the sole deliverable. Target Audience Business and leisure travellers. Deliverables Main deliverable: Upload a presentation film of your work (max. 2 mins) or up to eight images showing your solution. Optional supporting material for presentation film: Up to four images; interactive work (websites, widgets, apps, HTML, etc.); physical material (prototypes, mockups, etc.); supporting information (up to 400 characters). Optional supporting material for images: Interactive work (websites, widgets, apps, HTML, etc.); physical material (prototypes, mockups, etc.); supporting information (up to 400 characters). Keep any text on images to a minimum; supporting information can be entered online. For full format specs and guidance, see Formatting Your Entries on the next page.
