The summer water efficiency guide was the second in the set of documents for Portsmouth Water, highlight how to save water and money to their customers. It was important that this tied in with the narrative form the spring version, which helps to form a consistent look for the brand.

Using bright and playful illustrations, we wanted the guides to engage the audience and deliver statistics and ideas in a fun way.

These DL leaflet guides are a very tactile format, and encourages the viewer to flip through and digest the information on the page. In a world where there is so much online content, messaging can often become diluted. Therefore, printed materials are a great way to stand out now – if they have a great design that is.

After completing a brand audit, Portsmouth Water has been working with Glow to create a stronger brand, including social media optimisation and attractive promotional designs to provide information to its customers.

Using our tips can help reduce your heating costs, cut down your carbon footprint, and better manage water in your garden.
