The client:

The Department of Education (now 'The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development) is one of the ministries of the Victorian parliament.

The objective:

There were a number of high-profile anaphylaxis attacks in 2006/07. The Department of Education undertook to provide each school with information on identifying and treating an anaphylaxis attack, along with an EpiPen and directions for use. They wanted to supply a sustainable unit that could be updated as needed over the next few years.

The solution:

MBd commissioned Steph Ransom to supply a quirky, friendly illustration that visually united the group of disparate materials. Strong colours, and a durable polypropylene shelf package ensured that the kit was easily recognisable, and accessed in an emergency. The size of the package meant that material could be added over the next few years. MBd handled the project from concept through to production and distribution into every Victorian school.
